The ultimate luxury in the modern world of safari adventures
Escape to the wilds of Zambia at the luxurious Puku Ridge in the remote, unspoiled South Luangwa National Park. Puku overlooks the Kakumbi Plain, a floodplain and watering hole rich with wildlife. Observe the comical stance of a giraffe as it bends to drink, witness the stars of the vast African skies, and relax and allow nature to expand your sense of time, the ultimate luxury in the modern world.
Recently renovated and awarded the best safari lodge in Zambia by World Travel Awards for 2023, Puku is wilderness refined, from the elegant architecture to the thoughtfully outfitted game-viewing vehicles and the perfectly positioned photographic hide in front of the camp’s private watering hole.

Lodge and Facilities
Enjoy a night under the vast African skies in the starbed on the upper tower of your tented retreat. Start the day by communing with nature, enjoying the outdoor shower, or luxuriating in the expansive bath with superb views. Laze away the warm midday hours in your private plunge pool or the cool confines of the “eye to eye” photographic hide, and dine while watching the antics of the wildlife visiting the waterhole. Treat yourself to a rejuvenating massage in your room, or enjoy a refreshing drink at the indoor or open-air lounges. After dinner, relax around the campfire and marvel at the stars, bright and clear in the untainted night sky.
