Wild. Intimate. Magical.

Mfuwe, the gateway to South Luangwa National Park, is one of Zambia’s most coveted wilderness event destinations. Renowned globally for its walking safaris, abundant wildlife, and exceptional lodges, Mfuwe offers unparalleled opportunities for intimate, high-impact gatherings in nature. It’s ideal for destination weddings, photographic workshops, conservation retreats, and spiritual immersions.

Event groups can choose from a wide selection of acclaimed safari lodges like Mfuwe Lodge, Chikunto Safari Lodge, Time + Tide Mchenja, and Shawa Luangwa Camp. These properties typically host up to 20 guests and offer event spaces ranging from luxury dining decks to riverbank ceremony sites under cathedral-like trees. Mfuwe Lodge, in particular, is famous for its elephants walking through the lobby in mango season—a magical reminder that nature leads here.

South Luangwa’s rhythm lends itself to reflective, soul-stirring events. Days begin with sunrise game drives or riverside yoga, and end with fireside discussions beneath starlit skies. Conservation themes run deep—planners often integrate talks with local guides, visits to wildlife research stations, or carbon-neutral event practices. Some even co-host with community partners to raise awareness and support for local initiatives.

Though remote, Mfuwe has an airport that receives daily flights from Lusaka, making it surprisingly accessible for international guests. The exclusivity and immersion into pristine wilderness ensure that every gathering feels meaningful, unrushed, and deeply memorable.

For those seeking to exchange vows with elephants nearby or strategise a global conservation plan to the sound of hippos, Mfuwe is an unforgettable choice—where the line between venue and nature disappears.
