The best area to stay in Mfuwe is within the South Luangwa National Park itself, or immediately adjacent to its boundaries, particularly along the Luangwa River.
Staying inside or very close to the park offers unparalleled access to wildlife. The park's main entrance is near Mfuwe Airport, and many lodges are dotted along the riverbanks, providing direct views of hippos, crocodiles, and elephants from your accommodation. This proximity minimises travel time to game drives, allowing for more time observing the animals.
For couples seeking an intimate and exclusive wildlife experience, lodges within the park or on private concessions bordering it are ideal. These often feature secluded chalets, private dining options, and guided walking safaris or night drives that offer a different perspective on the bush. The focus here is on immersion in nature with a high level of comfort and personalised service.
Families travelling with older children will also find the riverside lodges excellent. Many lodges cater to families with spacious accommodation and offer educational activities focused on conservation and local culture.
