Puku Ridge Tented Camp

Puku Ridge Tented Camp is situated in a remote, rich in wildlife area in the South Luangwa National Park. For millennia, this low, rocky ridge has overlooked the wide, water-rich valley. From this vantage point among the trees, predators and hunters would quietly observe the prolific hunting grounds spread out below. Today guests come to Puku Ridge to revel in the abundance of wildlife and the comforts of a traditional old-world safari camp.

Named for the elusive Puku antelope which never strays far from water, this beautiful camp among the trees overlooks a sweeping expanse of the fertile Kakumbi valley. Here, the living is easy for both visitors and wildlife.

Puku Ridge is small and intimate, built unobtrusively close to the wild.

Each of the six comfortably furnished safari tents has its own lavish bathroom which provides the option of taking a shower with the sun on your shoulders. The spacious walk-in canvas safari tents offer a wrap around view of the flood plains below.

Well-lit pathways cleared of undergrowth connect the tents to the main bar/lounge. The natural vegetation has been left as undisturbed as possible.
The diverse wildlife along the valley offers great opportunities for photography, whether you choose to explore on foot with a keen-eyed guide, or range further afield in a safari vehicle.

In the evenings, you dine with the night sounds of Africa for a soundtrack. Game to be seen includes Elephant, Lion, Leopard, Wild Dog, Buffalo and Giraffe. Guided walks are conducted by a professional guide and an armed national parks scout.

Puku Ridge inhabits a remote world of its own, watching the ancient patterns of life and survival while treating its visitors to enjoyably civilised hospitality.
