5 Star Super Luxury Hotel

Exclusive member since: 2020

Location: Liuwa Plain in Zambia

Travel to a realm of golden light and vast blue skies, where space is infinite and time stands still.

Feel the drumbeat of the hooves of migrating wildebeest, the flapping wings of cranes taking flight and the distant rumble of a storm on the horizon. Behold the sea of wildflowers stretching across the savannah. Get up close and personal with a clan of curious hyenas.

This camp is named after King Lewanika of the Lozi people, who proclaimed the Liuwa Plain a protected area in the early 1880s, making it one of Africa's first game reserves. Today it remains an unspoiled area, home to a pageant of rare animals and wild beauty. The only permanent camp in Liuwa Plain National Park, its six open-fronted villas (including a two-bedroom, two-bathroom family villa) are the essence of pure and simple luxury. Built with local techniques and sustainable materials, they are solar-powered and furnished with leather, cotton and antique linens, a nod to old-world safari days. Designed to immerse you completely in the vast landscape, each has an indoor and outdoor shower, a comfortable lounge and a terrace, all with breathtaking views of the plains.

Take a deep breath as you gaze at the curving horizon from the serene main dining room. Dine on dishes that combine Zambia's rich cultural and natural heritage with inspiration from around the world. Warm yourself by the campfire under an endless dome of stars while listening to the legend of Lady Liuwa, matriarch of the local lion pride. The area is a photographer's dream, as each season offers a different backdrop for capturing wildlife. Join our award-winning guides on an intimate safari tour to admire some of Africa's most spectacular wildlife, including a growing cheetah population, on foot, in a vehicle or by canoe (in season).

Built and operated by Time + Tide, the lodge was conceptualized in collaboration with African Parks, the Zambia Department of National Parks and Wildlife and the Barotse Royal Establishment.
