The best accommodations North Luangwa National Park

Buffalo is the first bush camp established in the park, on the banks of the Mwalshi River. Mark Harvey, who runs the camp, is also an excellent safari guide. The six reed cabins, two of which are on stilts, are re-installed each new season.

Game drives are available, but the specialty of the Buffalo is the 4-5 hour walking safari . The lodgeorganizes transfers from Kapishya lodge or the northern towns.

Set around a few trees, Mwaleshi Camp is located on the banks of the eponymous river, 10 km from the confluence with the Luangwa River where the other Remote Africa camp in this park is located: Takwela Camp (opened in 2019).
