Luwi Camp is the most remote of all Norman Carr Safaris’ (current time + tide) bush camps. With only four safari tents built under shade-giving trees a short distance from the dry Luwi River riverbed, it is a very private affair. Luwi offers a very authentic "bush-feeling", a unique experience for adventure seekers and nature lovers. In the evenings, guests gather around the bar or around the camp fire; dinner is usually served under the stars.

Luwi Bush Camp is situated in the northern part of South Luangwa National Park on the dry Luwi River riverbed, some 23 km from the Luangwa River. It is exceedingly remote. Vehicle transfer time from Mfuwe Airport is approximately 3 hours.

Lion, leopard and hyena are relatively easy to find, wild dog less so. Located nearby is a permanent lagoon that plays host to crocodile and hippo, which can be watched from the hippo hide. This region is also home to elephant, buffalo, zebra, kudu, impala, puku and a large variety of birdlife.

Thornicroft’s giraffe, Cookson’s wildebeest and Crawshay’s zebra are unique to South Luangwa National Park.

The camp offers game drives in an open 4x4 vehicle and walks with armed rangers.

Transfer to or from Nsolo Bush Camp can be done on foot. The walk takes approximately 2-2.5 hours (7.5 km). The walk is tackled early due to the heat, particularly in October when temperatures can soar. Luggage is taken on ahead by vehicle. This walk may include encounters with lion, elephant, hippo and buffalo.

No wifi or phone reception at remote Luwi Camp.
