Shawa Luangwa Camp is located in South Luangwa National Park, overlooking the Luangwa River in the Nsefu Sector. Named after legendary guide Jacob Shawa, the camp is in a remote area of the park, and offers excellent game viewing. The camp features three couple’s tents and one family tent. Each luxurious tent is thoughtfully designed, blending natural materials with contemporary amenities to create a serene retreat. Elevated on wooden platforms, the tents offer panoramic views of the surrounding plains, allowing guests to observe wildlife from the comfort of their private decks. Sunken baths with scenic views offer a special touch. Safari experiences are guided by expert local trackers, and guests can enjoy walking safaris and night drives alongside game drives. The park is famous for its dense wildlife populations, providing unmatched opportunities for photography and wildlife observation. The camp’s intimate setting and connection to the local environment make it a standout destination for those seeking an immersive and authentic safari.

FAQs

Why book a tailor-made holiday with a luxury travel specialist?

The best trips feel effortless, but behind every seamless journey is thoughtful planning and genuine expertise. A luxury travel specialist brings first-hand destination knowledge, trusted recommendations and personalised service to every itinerary, ensuring your holiday is shaped around you. From choosing the finest hotels and experiences to managing all the finer details, tailor-made travel allows you to make the most of your time away without the stress of organising it yourself.

What types of holidays do you specialise in?

Love To Explore specialises in thoughtfully crafted journeys designed entirely around each individual traveller. From slow, sun-drenched escapes on idyllic Indian Ocean islands to immersive, adventure-led safaris through the African wilderness, every trip is shaped by personal style and pace. While Africa and the Indian Ocean remain at the heart of what we do, our trusted network of local experts allows us to extend far beyond, opening the door to extraordinary destinations across the globe.

How far in advance should I book a holiday?

There is no single rule when it comes to booking your next escape, as every journey is completely bespoke. Whether you’re planning a special milestone trip years in advance or seeking a spontaneous last-minute escape, we can help shape it at any stage. That said, for the best choice of boutique lodges and the most sought-after properties, we recommend beginning the planning process around nine months to a year ahead, allowing the widest possible access to availability and experiences. For certain safari lodges and iconic seasonal moments, such as Japan’s cherry blossom season, we would advise planning up to two years in advance.
