MFUWE LODGE
Mfuwe Lodge is located in South Luangwa National Park, nestled among ebony and fig trees beside an oxbow lagoon on one side and a permanent hippo pool on the other.
The lodge features open-plan reception, lounge, dining, and bar areas with contemporary African furnishings. The Phil Berry Centre offers a library, photo studio, and viewing deck. A large deck extends from the pool over the lagoon, perfect for meals and game viewing.
There are 18 air-conditioned thatched chalets, each privately set along the water’s edge with a private viewing deck. Chalets have mosquito-netted beds, soft lighting, and modern furnishings. Each includes an en suite bathroom with a shower, vanity, and toilet, with a view of the outdoors.
The Director’s House is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom villa with its own garden, swimming pool, dining area, and access to lodge facilities.
Mfuwe Lodge is ideally situated for wildlife viewing, with the oxbow lagoons attracting high concentrations of animals, including elephants, lions, and various bird species. Guests can enjoy day and night game drives, walking safaris, and birdwatching with experienced guides.
The spa provides a peaceful space for relaxation, offering a perfect retreat after a day of activities.
The Lodge is particularly known for the elephants who come for the wild mango fruit from the tree in the courtyard in October, November, and December (depending on the fruit ripening). This phenomenon is unique to Mfuwe Lodge.
