Why we love it
Luangwa Safari house is a private house designed by Neil Rocher, which sits gracefully on the edge of a lagoon system frequented by large herds of elephants, impalas, giraffes and countless other species which use the lagoon as a source of water and food throughout the year. The house is magnificently set at the backdrop of Chindeni Hills. The beautiful structure of Luangwa House hangs between twenty-five enormous leadwood poles. This silvery weathered wood embodies the powerful yet elegant nature of the house.
The South Luangwa National Park marks the end of the Great Rift Valley, one of the last remaining unspoilt wilderness areas
and possibly the finest wildlife sanctuary in Africa. It is through this that the great meandering Luangwa river runs, with its ox bow lagoons, riverine supported woodlands and large plains, all of which play host to huge concentrations of game including elephant, buffalo, leopard, lion, giraffe, hippo and over 450 species of birds.
This magnificent private house is the ultimate in luxury and the perfect getaway for families (children over seven) or groups of friends seeking an indulgent and private break.
Hop on one of Luangwa's seasonal boat safaris to get up close to bathing hippos or a thirsty herd of elephants at the Luangwa River.
Set off in the early morning and late evening on a game drive around Luangwa to experience the spectacular variety of Zambia's wildlife.
Cool off or splash about after an adventurous safari packed day at the house's swimming pool, overlooking the neighboroughing grasslands.
Experience another world with a night drive where you can see some of Zambia's more elusive and nocturnal animals wake up for the night.

The team at True Travel had a simple brief: to send us on the world’s best family safari. As soon as our boat headed down the Zambezi, it all kicked off; we passed a herd of hippos, a lazy crocodile and a giraffe drinking nonchalantly on the riverbank. A magical experience from beginning to end. Nothing was too much trouble and if we had any issue that needed resolving, there was always someone on hand to do this. Before and after, they were off the charts – simply an awesome team.
