03/ Step 3
We will meet you in Mfuwe
Once you reach Mfuwe, we can meet you at either the Airport (or elsewhere) and transfer you by road into Painted Dog's Lagoon or Luambe Camp. The drive to Painted Dog's Lagoon is about 40 minutes and the drive to Luambe Camp is about 4 hours. We don't recommend driving directly to North Luangwa River Lodge without stopping at Luambe on route.
Can you fly to Luambe or North Luangwa River Lodge? YES!
Mwaleshi (North Luangwa) and Waka-waka (Luambe) airstrips are available to use to charter in, feel free to chat to us about options!
04 / Step 4
Connecting North Luangwa
We recommend visiting Painted Dog's Lagoon, Luambe and North Luangwa River Lodge so as to give you the best overall experience of the Luangwa. If you choose to do this, you can stay at Luambe or Painted Dog's first before heading further north but we always recommend at least 1 night in Luambe either side of visiting North Luangwa to break up the drive time if you are not chartering. There is no need drive yourselves in, we can transfer you from camp to camp saving you the hassle of figuring out routes and directions.
There is also the option of flying directly into North Luangwa National Park from Mfuwe via air charter.
