Puku Ridge Camp: Luxurious Accommodations At Exceptional Rates

by Sandy Salle on July 15, 2009

Overlooking South Luangwa National Park’s Kakumbi Dambo floodplain, Puku Ridge Camp was fittingly named after one of the floodplain’s primary residents, the puku antelope. In addition to the puku antelope, the camp’s ideal location boasts stunning scenic views, and the opportunity to constantly observe a wide spectrum of wild game and migratory birds. 

Built purposefully to blend into South Luangwa’s riveting natural surroundings, the Puku Ridge Camp’s six elegantly decorated and intimate canvas safari tents each overlook brilliant views of the floodplains, consist of en-suite facilities including indoor and outdoor showers and bath, and three-quarter or king size beds. Each spacious tent also includes a private deck where tea and coffee is served each morning.

The easiest time to travel to Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park is during its dry season from May to November. Temperatures fluctuate from month to month, so it’s important to pack accordingly to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable Zambia safari trip. Bring durable shoes, airy long sleeve shirts, and pants for mornings and evenings, a hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a camera. The Camp also offers a complete complimentary laundry service every day.

Puku Ridge Camp celebrates excellent rates with a variety of all-inclusive elements. Rates include:

• Two game-viewing activities per day: These activities include game drives, night drives, and walking safaris, each boasting their own unique characteristics. Game drives are an excellent way to experience the varying terrains of South Luangwa while viewing exceptional game up close, including elephants, lions, cheetahs, and zebra. During night drives you get the chance to observe nocturnal animals, and view the different behavior patterns of animals you spot during the day. Although game drives and night drives are a wonderful way to become familiarized with South Luangwa’s natural surroundings, walking safaris are arguably the most popular activity to enjoy while on a Zambia safari trip. Walking safaris allow you to truly immerse yourself into Zambia’s nature and learn about the rich fauna and flora of the area. Expert, licensed guides bring you into an exciting realm of discovery and mystery. You work side by side with the expert to uncover hidden creatures and search for wild game, including lions and cheetahs. Learn about the various animal prints, and callings that will help you find large game. Along the way, you’ll discover a side to nature you’ve never seen before.  

• Park entry fees: Entry fees are already taken care of, eliminating the hassle of purchasing admission passes. Pre-paid passes ensures you have more time to experience what you came to Africa for—the vacation of a lifetime.

• Three meals a day, and beverages: Beverages include soft drinks, and local wines, beers, and spirits. Rest easy knowing you’ll receive fantastic food and drinks that are already paid for before you even leave. You won’t have to worry about finding the perfect place to eat and socialize with cocktails—Puku Ridge Camp already has it all for you.

• Full, complimentary laundry service: No one wants to travel with a huge suitcase, especially when you’re trying to relax. Puku Ridge Camp’s full, complimentary laundry service allows you to bring just a few outfits without having to wear them repeatedly without washing.

• Airport transfers: There’s no need to worry about finding trustworthy transfers, Puku Ridge Camp’s two-hour transfer drive to and from Mfuwe International Airport ensures you make it to your destination safely and on time.

When you stay at Puku Ridge Camp, you can be certain you’ll have the Zambia safari vacation of a lifetime.
