Just eight luxury safari tents mean exclusivity is guaranteed at Puku Ridge Camp; elevated within the valley of the leopards, even the larger-than-life bathtubs are privy to awe-inspiring views.

Just eight luxury safari tents mean exclusivity is guaranteed at Puku Ridge Camp; elevated within the valley of the leopards, even the larger-than-life bathtubs are privy to awe-inspiring views.

Frequented by lovers of laid-back luxury and experiences beyond the safari staples, Puku Ridge takes its cues from the tastes of its globetrotting guests. An eco-sensitive renovation hasn’t compromised on style; tents house local crafts that compliment a modern safari aesthetic, facing the floodplain to deliver game viewing directly to the plunge pools. They’ve also elevated the ever-coveted sleep out experience, bestowing each tent with its own star bed tower accessed via its own little staircase. At the main camp, intimate communal areas are surveyed by warm and welcoming staff with an eye for detail – come armed with your favourite drinks order and it’ll be awaiting during sundowners.  

Game drives already come with a sense of exclusivity thanks to the quieter location, but while the wildlife thrives in these parts, it’s not the only thing to experience. In the centre of Mfuwe, Conservation South Luangwa opens its doors to the camp’s guests interested in learning more about their efforts. Creative classes centred around crafts made by local hands are the highlight of trips to Mulberry Mongoose and Tribal Textiles: the former making jewellery from snare wires, the latter hand-painting fabrics.
