Sungani Lodge

Our View

Sungani Lodge is an exciting addition to the South Luangwa National Park, and is all about luxury, relaxation and untouched wilderness. It’s got all the facilities you could think of, but with enough authenticity that it doesn’t feel like a plush hotel in the bush. A fabulous option for honeymooners and those who prefer a sprinkling of opulence in their wilderness adventures.

Sungani Lodge - The facts

Built in 2019, Sungani oozes calm with its elegant wooden tones, offering a luxurious under canvas feel. It’s all about privacy, as this is the southernmost lodge in the South Luangwa National Park, meaning it’s a good 3-hour drive from Mfuwe International Airport.

However, living up to its over $1,200 per person per night price tag, the lodge has its own airstrip, making it a short 20 minute hop by plane.

With a lagoon set out in front of camp, visitors can relax in the main pool - or their private ones set out on their deck - and take in the comings and goings of this particularly secluded corner of the South Luangwa, with its mighty hippo population and prowling leopards.

Elevated decking throughout means you are free to explore camp in the day, perhaps taking a trip to the gym or their very own photography studio where you can edit your photos from the day on professional software, having rented some killer cameras.

While there is every amenity you could wish for, the decor here is simple and understated, keeping it in fitting with the natural surroundings.

There are seven luxury tents made up of four king rooms and three doubles with queen beds. One of the doubles also offers two more beds for children. Enjoy indoor and outdoor showers, an inviting bathtub with a view, and air conditioning throughout.

Food is an important part of Sungani, with a decent à la carte breakfast, a buffet spread for lunch and locally sourced seasonal produce for the dinner menu.

Outside the lodge, you can explore this wildlife-packed region with game drives, walking safaris, bush meals, sundowners, day trips, and photographic hides.
