Shawa Luangwa Camp
Fully Inclusive Basis
Shawa Luangwa Camp
Shawa Luangwa Camp is situated on the eastern bank of the Luangwa River on a site hand-picked by Jacob Shawa, the Head Professional Guide at camp. From this beautiful location, you can cross the river on a pontoon or boat and explore the prime game-viewing areas of the South Luangwa National Park.
Jacob Shawa is not only a legendary Zambian guide; he is also the inspiration behind building Shawa Luangwa Camp in the first place. Jacob was brought up in the Luangwa Valley and his interest in wildlife started when he was young. Whilst he was completing secondary school at Mambwe High School (at the time the only secondary school in the Valley) Jacob’s passion for wildlife was so evident that he was named Chairman of the Wildlife Conservation Club for the school.
With the support of the wonderful owners, Jacob has been integral to the creation, soul and energy of Shawa. His knowledge of the area and wildlife has inspired and guided the Green Safaris team throughout. What’s more, Shawa proudly offers the very first silent safaris in Zambia's South Luangwa National Park using solar-powered electric vehicles or e-Cruisers. The opening of Shawa was delayed due to Covid-19, but Jacob has been patiently waiting and ensuring that his little slice of paradise is ready for guests. Importantly, Jacob and his team have been working on reforestation and growing initiatives in the area to support the Luangwa community without whom none of this would be possible.
Elegance and comfort combine with the quiet intimacy of a classic African bush camp in thefive Shawa Luxury Tents. The tents have been raised above the ground on wooden stilts, which lessens their impact on the environment, and they open entirely on three sides to offer an unblocked 270-degree view over the river and across the park.
At Shawa Luangwa Camp, the South Luangwa National Park is on your doorstep, just waiting to be explored by vehicle, boat or foot with a wonderful guide by your side.
Through Silent Safaris, thecare for the environment extends beyond camp into the wilderness of the park and Nsefu Sector. The electric Land Cruisers are powered by Zambia’s abundant sunshine to traverse the area quietly, lightly and with minimal carbon footprint. As the birthplace of the walking safari, South Luangwa beckons you to step out on foot with our legendary guide, Jacob Shawa, who will make you fall in love with the bush.
