Puku Ridge Camp nestles in Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park which boasts an extraordinary number of diverse ecosystems and is well-known for incredible walking safaris. On the edge of an escarpment, is the luxurious and secluded Puku Ridge Camp, named after the puku antelope that graze in the fertile floodplain in front of the camp.
There is a sense of timelessness and being at one with the world at the intimate Puku, where impeccable service and comfortable luxury combine in a pristine wilderness to assure guests of an unforgettable safari experience.
Puku Ridge Camp boasts seven safari tents with king-size or twin beds, an en-suite bathroom with a bathtub, indoor and outdoor showers, mosquito netting, luxury bathroom amenities, a hairdryer, fans, and private decks that overlook the game-rich floodplains.
The camp facilities include a lounge, bar, dining area, and boma.
There are 60 different animal species and over 400 different bird species in South Luangwa National Park. The only notable exception to the Big Five is the rhino, sadly poached to extinction. The park is renowned for its large elephant herds and huge pods of hippos. Endemic species such as Thornicroft’s giraffe and Cookson’s wildebeest are frequently sighted, as are leopards.
The region is a birdwatcher’s paradise, with about 400 of Zambia’s 732 bird species, including 39 birds of prey and 47 migratory species.
Knowledgeable guides lead twice-daily game drives and night drives in open 4x4 safari vehicles. Night drives offer the opportunity to spot rarely seen nocturnal creatures such as porcupines and bush babies. It’s also when lions and leopards are often actively hunting their prey.
Walking safaris are led by a professional guide and an armed national parks scout. On foot, guests not only get up close to big game but also discover the fascinating, often-overlooked smaller creatures.
Return transfers from Mfuwe Airport to Puku Ridge Camp, all meals (private dining available), beverages, house wines, local spirits, and laundry. Professionally guided safari activities include day and night game drives and bush walks.

Great advice, responsive and knowledgeable!
Pascal John at Safari.com guided me on different safari lodges (experience, rating), and most importantly knew about specials (buy 3 nights, get 4th for free) which allowed my family to secure a 5-star location at a more reasonable rate. Great advice, responsive and knowledgeable!

Anja at Safari.com was a great partner to work with!
Working with Anja at Safari.com was great. She was able to work some magic and got us a few nights at the safari lodge we really wanted, Ngoma. Unfortunately, our flight from the USA to South Africa was canceled and we were rebooked a day later but Anja was great about making sure our lodge and the transports knew about the change in plans and made sure we got to our trip as soon as we could. She was a great partner to have and communicated quickly whenever we reached out. I would highly recommend using her when planning a trip to Africa!

Great service from Denise at Safari.com
Denise from Safari.com was extremely helpful. She responded promptly, provided good advice on safari lodgings options and worked up a couple of itinerary options to suit our budget. Denise also organised flights and transfers very quickly so that we could finalize our booking in a short time. Much appreciated.
