Exciting news for the 2019 season... TWO new camps are opening in the Luangwa Valley!
The 'New' Puku Ridge
South Luangwa National Park
The "new" Puku Ridge located well inside Zambia’s incredible South Luangwa National Park, is a collaboration between its new owners, Chichele Safaris, and the Cumings Family of Chiawa Camp & Old Mondoro.

A 5-star luxury tented safari camp, Puku Ridge is being completely rebuilt in a more eco-friendly manner and reopening August 2019.

Consisting of 8 tents/16 beds, each tent overlooks the wildlife and expanse of the Puku Ridge lagoon, each with super-king or large twin bed configuration. The main area offers an indoor and open-air lounge and various dining options, campfire, and viewing hide overlooking the waterhole.

 
Grant Cummings of Chiawa Safaris adds,
" Unique in design and now with a lighter footprint, Puku Ridge
blends in beautifully with its natural surroundings "

 
Elements from the Luangwa bush camps of old have been combined with traditional village life and authentic, local art works complement crucial creature comforts making for one of the most appealing and welcoming safari camp launches for many years. Previous guests of the old Puku Ridge may feel that everything has changed, but many special touches from the past have been retained.  

Puku Ridge’s location within the park is spectacular and secluded, overlooking a wildlife-rich floodplain and waterhole, where there’s seemingly always something to see, on one of South Luangwa National Park’s prime sites.

Takwela Camp
North Luangwa National Park
With plans already very much in progress, Remote Africa Safaris will soon be introducing its newest camp, ‘Takwela’, to its collection of authentic and secluded Luangwa camps. It’s due to open in the summer and will be situated within the vast wilderness of North Luangwa National Park.

Takwela will be opening on 22nd July 2019 and in keeping with the Remote Africa ethos the camp will, as much as possible, be built from local natural materials and constructed with local skills.

"By virtue of its remoteness, we will have virtually exclusive access to over 50kms of Luangwa river frontage available to Takwela!"
John Coppinger of Remote Africa Safaris

For the 2019 season, the camp will consist of 2 thatch chalets accommodating just 4 people for a real intimate experience. In 2020 two more chalets will be added and ultimately  may increase to 6 chalets, hosting a total of 12 guests. Takwela will offer a similar intimately-close-to-nature feel as the other Remote Africa camps and provides the opportunity to see a pristine and lesser explored area of the North Luangwa National Park.
