Thank you and Season’s Greetings!
As we bid farewell to an incredible year, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support! Thanks to you, our conservation and community projects have thrived, making a positive impact on the world around us.
With the holiday spirit in full swing, we extend our warmest wishes to you and yours. May this season be filled with joy, laughter, and cherished moments. As we eagerly step into the new year, we're excited about the opportunities and possibilities it holds.
Thank you for being an integral part of our journey and helping us to share the magic of the South Luangwa for generations to come.
We are very pleased to be included on this Condé Nast Traveler list of travel trends for 2024!
17. Back-of-house tours
What’s the trend? Greener hotels giving us a look behind the scenes to show us – not just tell us – they're sustainable. We don't mean a look-see at solar panels or composting, but heart-lifting experiential tours that help us appreciate why it matters to support socio-economic uplift through tourism.
In Africa, guests of the Bushcamp Company contribute to initiatives through the Luangwa Conservation and Community Fund. A popular excursion in Zambia is visiting the boreholes that are installed with outreach funds. Each pump provides fresh drinking water to hundreds of people a day, and visitors who spend time with those gathered get a very tangible insight into how such provisions funded by hospitality can literally change lives in regions most affected by a warming planet.

We are often asked about the Elephants in Reception, an annual phenomenon at Mfuwe Lodge. Here's a bit of info: As the annual rains start to fall, Mfuwe Lodge looks forward to welcoming back some regular seasonal visitors, even though they have large appetites and very particular dietary requirements! In the lodge grounds there stands a magnificent “wild mango” (Cordyla africana) tree, which bears a fruit that is a favourite meal of certain residents, especially South Luangwa’s elephants. Between early November and Christmas these large grey visitors, from big bulls to young babies, regularly arrive to dine on the ripe fruits, often sharing their meal with ever-hungry baboons, and even taking an after-dinner snooze! Although the tree is accessible using a number of routes, the most direct approach is to climb the lodge’s entrance steps and take a short-cut through the lobby, a sight that never fails to amuse and amaze the human inhabitants! This unique and highly unusual animal behaviour has become a major attraction. Find out more and watch a selection of videos at https://bushcampcompany.com/elephants-in-reception/
