Flatdogs Camp

South Luangwa National Park, Zambia

About Flatdogs Camp

Flatdogs Camp is situated on the edge of the South Luangwa National Park, offering a more accessible yet still highly authentic experience. The camp consists of comfortable, classic tents and more permanent structures that suit families and couples alike. Located right on the banks of the Luangwa River, it provides a great base for daily excursions into the park. The area is famous for its prolific wildlife, including elephants, lions, and hippos that are frequently seen in and around the camp grounds. The experience is relaxed, informal, and deeply focused on the joy of the safari, with experienced local guides. It is a practical, honest choice for travelers who want a high-quality wildlife experience without the pretense of more indulgent lodges.
