The much-anticipated Puku Ridge has reopened in South Luangwa and it looks amazing.
Managed by Chiawa Safaris, Puku Ridge truly does have it all. Aside from the stunning location, abundant wildlife and the long-standing reputation of providing unbeatable management and hospitality, Chiawa Safaris’ new lodge is brimming with authentic history, creativity and conservation ethos.
The lodge is made up of 8 tented safari rooms, all boasting a romantic and luxurious feel when returning from a day of activities. Just some of the features of this indulgent lodge is air conditioning, super king beds, double wash basins, private plunge pool, outdoor shower and much more.
The sweeping decks allow visitors to relax and unwind whilst taking in the surrounding views of landscape and fauna.

Hosts and Managers, Jason and Michaela Johnstone, were hand-picked to head up the running of Puku Ridge as their combined years of experience at Chiawa Camp and Old Mondoro are second to none; not to mention the fact that they’re both keen foodies and have impeccable attention to detail.
Puku Ridge is now also home to some of the best chefs, waiters and some of South Luangwa’s leading guides who will take visitors on an unforgettable journey of discovery. Chiawa Safaris’ unique night-drive protocol is now used in South Luangwa National Park, proven to reduce the disturbance of wildlife and improve the quality of sightings by using red filters on spotlights and vehicle headlights. This is yet another worthy contribution to conservation efforts and to improving the quality of tourist activity.
