The “new” Puku Ridge, located well inside the incredible South Luangwa National Park, is a collaboration between its new owners, Chichele Safaris, and the Cumings Family of Chiawa Camp & Old Mondoro.
Its position is spectacular and secluded, overlooking a wildlife-rich floodplain and waterhole, where there’s seemingly always something to see, on one of the South Luangwa National Park’s prime sites.
It is being completely rebuilt with a lighter footprint
This well-known and much loved camp’s facilities, service and guiding are being upgraded to the highest of standards that the Cumings Family’s own Lower Zambezi safari camps have become renowned. Unique in design but traditional in outlook, it is being completely rebuilt with a lighter footprint and blends in beautifully with its natural surroundings.
Elements from the Luangwa bush camps of old have been combined with traditional village life and authentic, local art works complement crucial creature comforts making for one of the most appealing and welcome safari camp launches for many years.
Previous guests of the old Puku Ridge will feel that everything has changed, but nothing has changed, as many special touches from the past have been retained.
