We intended to camp at Flatdogs, but fortunately the campsite there was closed. We decided to have a look at The Wildlife Camp. Loved it from the first. Conrad told us to pitch out tents where we liked. he even arranged for a nice plate of sandwiches to be bought down to the campsite, even though the kitchen was closed.... More

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed a four-night stay at Wildlife Camp. We had previously stayed at a similarly advertised camp about a mile away and found Wildlife Camp to be much better and less expensive. The owner (a Swiss lady) and the rest of the mostly Malawian staff were very friendly and accommodating. We stayed in a chalet –... More

Dear Jeannette and Mark. Thanks so much for your remarks! We are looking forward to welcoming you again in our beautiful valley. Unfortunately I'm not the owner of Wildlife Camp - I'm employed as a manager and I really enjoy it. The owner is the Wildlife and Environmental Conservation Society of Zambia and the camp's director is South African born,... More

My visit to Wildlifecamp in South Luangwa was an experience of a lifetime. The guides are extremely knowledgable about the animals and the park. The staff are professional, friendly and makes one feel at home. What made this trip special is that the animals roam into the camp so that you do not only see wildlife in the park, but... More

We live in Lilongwe Malawi and have made the 5-6 hour trip to South Luangwa 4 times in the past year. We have stayed in Wildlife Camp 3 out of 4 times and have loved it every time. Unlike a lot of the other self service campsites in the Mfuwe area--Wildlive Camp situates you right on the river bluff overlooking... More

We spent one week at the Wildlife Camp in October. We emailed before our arrival before we came. Upon arriving all the campsites were filled and we were told to sleep under a shady tree next to the river. That night two hippos began to fight over grass & terrority and one backed into our tent. It was very scary... More

Dear Grossemontagne. Thank you for your review and for pointing out a couple of things that you have noticed during your stay here at Wildlife Camp. There is just one or two points that I'd like to highlight, as it was actually me who you spoke to about your incident and not Wildlife Camp's owner. Wildlife Camp is in a... More

We arrived in Wildlife Camp after a nightmare journey, it was like arriving in heaven! Incredibly genuine, helpful and friendly people, nothing was a problem. Everything was planned perfectly and to fit in with what we wanted to do. The game drives and walking safaris were fascinating with brilliantly knowledgable guides and the biggest variety of wildlife (we saw 4/5... More

Dear Ella and Danny. Thank you very much for your review. We are glad that you enjoyed our little piece of heaven! You are right about the rhino's. Unfortunately they are not around anymore. However, there is a brilliant programme going on in the northern part of the valley to re-introduce these beasts. As far as I know their numbers... More

Wildlife Camp has an elegant, rustic charm set in a natural and beautiful setting. The camp and staff were more than we could have imagined. The hospitality was warm, friendly and professional. Delicious, skillfully prepared meals were beautifully served in the open dining room. And the charming accommodations met our every need. They even did our laundry! Cleaned, pressed, folded... More

Stayed two nights and had 3 wildlife excursions. Loved the combination of early morning drives and nighttime safari....very haunting driving through the dark with eyes reflecting back in the lights. Our guide, Billy, was simply outstanding - both informative and fun. The food was great, the setting exactly what we wanted: a very natural blend into the landscape and amongst... More
