Experience the tranquility, wildlife and luxury of a private and exclusive lodge in South Luangwa.

Painted Dogs Lagoon provides guests with an authentic African bush experience, conveniently situated right at their doorstep. The lodge's focus on relaxation sets it apart from conventional safari experiences. Drawing on over 20 years of expertise in the African bush, the team recognizes the importance of creating a tranquil and immersive environment for visitors. Rather than actively pursuing wildlife encounters, the lodge adopts a passive approach, allowing nature to unfold naturally and offering guests a genuine and unfiltered wilderness encounter.

“The magic of this corner of the world unfolds best when you simply sit and enjoy the scenery.

After more than 20 years of experience in the African bush, we’ve learned that the traditional safari experience often leaves little time for relaxation. That’s why we’ve chosen to let the wildlife come to us, rather than constantly chasing after it."

- Lodge Manager, Regina Woest
