Liuwa Camp
Liuwa Camp’s airy, upmarket design and light footprint echoes the expansive space and golden light of the plains in which it is set.

Welcome to Liuwa Camp
Liuwa Camp lies on the edge of an enormous plain that stretches as far as the eye can see. Under mabola plums and jackalberry trees, the camp’s raised nature maximises the 180-degree view across the plain, taking in the camp waterhole where wildlife comes to drink.
With a light footprint philosophy, solar-powered Liuwa Camp has seven raised en-suite tented units and one family unit. Spread out on either side of the camp’s central area, each unit – particularly the “honeymoon” suite – is discreetly positioned for privacy and to take in the landscape.
The main area, a showcase of the colourful Lozi culture, features an airy dining room and spacious lounge and library. The firepit is the ideal spot for evening contemplations under the legendary night skies of Liuwa. The honey-toned wood, beautifully appointed furnishings and superb team providing outstanding service has this camp edging into luxury.
At different times of the year, hyaena, lechwe and wildebeest are regularly seen, while outstanding birdlife in numbers and variety can be seen at the pans.
