This lodge was taken over by RPS in 2011 since that time the character has literally been ripped out of the place and the standard of service has nose dived. Our transport from the airport was a rundown and later broken down safari car that would not have been out of place on a scrap heap. Despite the 5 star... More

Arrived off the Proflight Lusaka flight straight from BA from London (nice easy transfer). Very warm welcome at Mfuwe airport from the RPS guys who took u straight to the lodge through the park and then by boat hop across the river. The lodge is set right on the river bank, with direct access to the park by the river,... More

The welcome could not have been warmer, the food was very good and the guiding was excellent. Even though it was March and therefore the lodge was only recebntly open, the pool was useable and I spent a lovely afternoon alternating between the sunlounger and the pool. My rating is very good rather than excellent only in comparison to the... More

We spent 5 nights at this camp - now called Luangwa River Camp, and part of the Robin Pope Safari group. Rooms are spacious and well appointed, food is very good, and the game drives were excellent. Our guide (Braston) was well informed and enthusiastic. The hosts, Tom & Alison, were brilliant - nothing was too much trouble - they... More

The lodge is superbly located overlooking the Luangwa River. From here you venture out to great game drives or, which we would highly recommend, the game walks in the morning. Game is abundant in this area - we were on many Safaris before (South Africa, Namibia and Botswana), but we have never had an opportunity to see lions and leopard... More

We have just come back from a two part honeymoon in Zambia. The first part being here at the lodge We really wanted an authentic safari, not a one or two day drive in a part where the guides radio to each other where the animals are. We really wanted to feel we were the only people in Africa on... More

This was my third time to LRL and it keeps getting better each time I stay there. The chalets are cool, comfortable and well designed with a large tub and seperate shower, comfortable beds and fine linens. The food is first class, the chef should be in a 5 star restaurant! The staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgable. There are... More

If you want to see real Africa, experience real safari and enjoy really warm hospitality, then you will love Luangwa River Lodge. My husband and I had decided that we wanted to chose a safari spot for our nuptials but were put off by the 'processed' safari offerings in South Africa and Kenya. Having both been well travelled, we wanted... More

My wife and I have just returned from a five night stay at Luangwa River Lodge and it was with heavy hearts that we boarded the Land Rover with Victor at the wheel to take us back to Mfuwe and then on home to Jo'burg. This was my second trip and my wife's first. The Lodge is a leisurely 45... More

What an amazing lodge in a beautiful location, right on the river's edge. The safari's started early with a 5:30 am wake up call and another safari at 4 pm but it was well worth it to see all the animals and you could opt out of one or two if you were shattered. We got to see Lion's, Leopards,... More
