Zambia wildlife safari camp
How this holiday makes a difference
Environment
We are the only property in the South Luangwa National park that operates under the auspices of the Wildlife and Environmental Conservation Society of Zambia and 60% of the accommodation and camping proceeds are donated directly to the society. These funds are used to promote conservation thought education.
We buy local produces from Zambian farmers. We support the local small scale farmers and buy them seeds and then buy produce from them. They are all farming organically. Local contractors are employed for any construction and use of local materials such as locally hand made bricks. All guests have the chance to visit the local community, school and clinics. We use local produce where possible and offer local meals in our restaurant. Guests in the campsite are also encouraged to buy local produce from the market.
The camp is constructed from local materials and built by local employees. An environmental impact study was carried out before any building was implemented. We only employ staff from the local community and have a training program on site for all staff from chefs to guides. Our guides have been with us from positions as barmen, waiters or cooks and have the opportunity to study whist at work and then we help teach them guiding skills and help them to sit for their guides exam.
Community
From the beginning Wildlife Camp have supported the local community by buying local produce when available and by employing people from the local town, Mfuwe, to work in and around camp.
Landscape
Wildlife Camp is fortunate enough to be based on 400 hectares of prime property along the meandering Luangwa River. Since 1992 we have always set out to ensure that this little piece of heaven on earth is kept undisturbed. We do not conduct any driving safaris on this peice of property and always make sure that the walking safaris here take nothing but photos and leave nothing but footprints behind.
