Buffalo is a seasonal bush camp based in the North Luangwa. North Luangwa National Park is one of the last unspoilt true wilderness areas left in Africa. It is renowned for its enormous herds of buffalo and its numerous other species of wildlife and bird life. The camp is normally open from the 1st June to the 1st week of November. The recommended stay at Buffalo camp is from three (3) to five (5) nights. This will enable you to fully appreciate the uniqueness of the North Luangwa.

It is situated some 100km off the Great North Road. The clearly sign posted road is 60kms north of Mpika and 26km south of the Shiwa Ngandu turn-off. Buffalo camp is also accessible by air as there is an air strip 12 kilometres (thirty minutes drive) from the camp.

The camp consists of 5 chalets all en-suite plus 1 guide’s chalet. Three of the chalets are built up on stilts, over looking the Mwaleshi River. A maximum of 10 clients can be accommodated at a time. The area is predominately for walking safaris but we will do limited game and night drives. Buffalo camp is unique in that it is one of the only camps in the North Luangwa that accommodates families with children.

Walks are not an endurance trip but more of a meander. Normally these last approximately 4 to 5 hours. These trips are conducted by highly experienced Zambian guides and are always accompanied by an armed Zambia wildlife authority (ZAWA) scout.

Buffalo is closed for the rains until June 2008
