Sungani

Tucked away in the most southern reaches of South Luangwa National Park, Sungani offers an exclusive safari experience in one of Africa’s last untouched wildernesses. Just 90 kilometers from Mfuwe Airport and surrounded by pristine landscapes, the family-owned lodge and camp are uniquely positioned for privacy and exceptional wildlife encounters, with the added benefit of having the park extend across the river for uninterrupted game viewing. Every detail, from the custom-designed safari vehicles to the thoughtfully designed luxury accommodations, is curated to provide guests with comfort, style, and a true sense of immersion in nature.

Sungani is built on strong values of community and conservation. The majority of the team comes from the local community, with many of the structures on-site hand-built by their own skilled craftsmanship. Over the years, the family has dedicated significant resources to restoring this once-neglected area, creating roads, firebreaks, and vital infrastructure to support conservation efforts.

Their partnerships with Conservation South Luangwa and the Department of National Parks and Wildlife have resulted in impactful fundraising campaigns and active on-the-ground initiatives—from anti-poaching patrols to maintaining road access that benefits both wildlife and the local community.

Beyond its conservation ethos, Sungani stands out for offering a highly personalized safari experience. Guests can enjoy photography-focused activities with access to professional equipment, innovative hides, and the expertise of an in-house wildlife photographer. With solar-powered sustainability, a private airstrip for seamless transfers, and a mix of luxury amenities like private pools and beautifully appointed suites, Sungani perfectly balances exclusivity with understated elegance. Whether on foot, from the comfort of a custom safari vehicle, or through a camera lens, every experience here is designed to be unhurried, authentic, and deeply meaningful.
