Flatdogs Camp

Flatdogs Camp Overview

Flatdogs Camp is a Fair Trade Tourism certified safari camp offering outstanding value to our guests. The camp offers incredible game viewing experiences on game drives and walking safaris inside the South Luangwa National Park. Flatdogs Camp has been owner-run since conception and opening in 2000 and is a camp with a worthy reputation for excellent service and great value for money.

There are a range of accommodation options available in camp aiming to appeal to all kinds of safari-goers; the Crocodile Nest is an exclusive private house experience for up to 6 guests. There are 3 ensuite bedrooms as well as private living, dining and private swimming pool for the guests staying here.

The Jackalberry Treehouse is a wilder experience for the more adventurous since it is an open air treehouse with 2 ensuite bedrooms with private living and dining deck in between. The Treehouse looks onto a waterhole and is the ultimate natural safari option and game-viewing 24/7. In the main part of camp there are 4 stone and thatch chalets which are ideal for families, particularly first time safari visitors and younger travellers who might prefer four walls between them and the wildlife!

Last, but by no means least, the ensuite safari tents offer a traditional safari camp experience with canvas walls, large gauze windows and great views of the Luangwa river or your own private waterhole. There’s nothing quite like watching elephant cross the river in front of you from your bed or listening to hippo grazing next to you!

Flatdogs camp is unusual in the safari world as well in that it offers an a la carte menu to all guests with a range of delicious seasonal choices each day.

Flatdogs prides itself on having the most experienced and professional safari guides leading and looking after our guests. Learning about the African bush and exactly what you are seeing, hearing and smelling as you move amongst it, as well as using your guide’s knowledge of wildlife behaviour to predict what is going to happen on a sighting are things that stay with our guests forever.

Flatdogs is a Member in good standing with the National Parks Association.  The Association recommends that you explore and learn more about this accommodation option for your travels and South Luangwa experience.
