Kwena Lagoon Camp lies on a beautiful permanent lagoon just off the Luangwa River, in the remote Luamfwa area in the southern section of Zambia's South Luangwa National Park. Kwena Lagoon is currently under construction and due to open in July 2008.
Accommodation at Kwena Lagoon Camp consists of eight safari-style tents, each en-suite with both an indoor and outdoor shower. The camp's dining and bar area under a canopy of giant ebony trees and a pool and viewing deck area located to the side of the camp all offer spectacular views of the lagoon that may once have been part of the Luangwa River.
South Luangwa is renowned as the best walking destination in Africa and guests have the choice to explore the Luangwa riverine vegetation and adjacent dambos on guided walks. Other activities include day-and-night wildlife-viewing drives.
The highest concentration of wildlife can be found along the Luangwa River and its rich vegetation. There are herds of elephant and buffalo, as well as dominant antelope species such as impala and puku. Other antelope include common waterbuck, bushbuck, eland, kudu, grysbok, oribi, reedbuck, Lichtenstein's hartebeest, sable and roan. Species such as Thornicroft's giraffe and Cookson's wildebeest occur nowhere else in the world and the area's leopard viewing is legendary.
The main predators in the are lion, leopard, spotted hyaena and wild dogs. High-density hippo populations dot the riverbanks while yellow baboon and Defassa waterbuck provide a contrast to their southern cousins.
The dry season along the Luangwa River - when all game is forced to congregate along its banks as water resources dwindle elsewhere - is an experience every Africa fan should indulge in and Kwena Lagoon Camp is the ideal choice for just such an experience.
