The Bushcamp Company

Story

Experience one of Africa's most authentic safari adventures with The Bushcamp Company, the largest photographic safari operator in South Luangwa National Park and one of the continent's most respected safari brands. Founded in 1999, The Bushcamp Company begins with a bold vision to offer immersive safari experiences in the birthplace of the walking safari, operating the award-winning Mfuwe Lodge, the private Villas at KuKaya, and six intimate luxury bushcamps across an exclusive 140,000-acre wilderness concession.

Follow a safari circuit that starts at Mfuwe Lodge or The Villas at KuKaya before taking you deeper into the wilderness through remote bushcamps, each offering a distinct landscape and character. Explore South Luangwa on foot, by safari vehicle, and under the stars alongside some of Zambia's most experienced safari guides, whose decades of local knowledge transform every journey into an unforgettable experience. Discover remarkable wildlife, including leopards, lions, wild dogs, elephants, buffalo, hippos, crocodiles, and countless other species in one of Africa's richest ecosystems. Experience legendary walking safaris and exclusive night drives that reveal the valley from a unique perspective.

Travel with a company that preserves a guiding tradition established by walking safari pioneer Norman Carr and carried forward by generations of exceptional guides. Benefit from a team of more than 200 dedicated Zambians, many from the Luangwa Valley, whose expertise, hospitality, and personal connection to the landscape define every stay. Since 2023, under the stewardship of Brooke and Corby Robertson, The Bushcamp Company continues to invest in camp enhancements, conservation initiatives, and community programs while preserving the authentic safari experience that built its reputation. Every stay also supports meaningful conservation and community projects through initiatives such as anti-poaching programs, clean-water boreholes, and educational support for local communities. More than a safari operator, The Bushcamp Company invites you to experience one of Africa's last truly wild places while becoming part of a lasting commitment to protecting South Luangwa's wildlife, landscapes, and people.
