EXCELLENTVerified 4 nights at Sabali Just back from a 4 night stay at Sabali. Accommodation was perfect for us. The staff are very friendly and attentative. The food was excellent and any allergies considered. Our guides were very knowledgeable and friendly with excellent driving skills.Verified Camp Sabali Mfuwe; highly recomended! Camp Sabali is a perfect place for a South Luangwe experience. The park is nearby. We have done several game drives: all very exciting, The guide was a real professional. He knows a lot and could easily find different game. The staff is friendly and attentive. We have had excellent diners and brunches. The chalets are both exotic and hygienic. Tasteful. We will definitely go back when we are in Zambia again.Verified Wonderful Camp Sabali Had a memorable time relaxing in the capable hands at Camp Sabali. The Emerald season gives a completey different experience in Luangwa as the rains transform the landscape into a verdant panorama. Camp Sabali is a beautiful set of six boutique tents set just a few metres from the Luangwa River. Super comfortable and magical space to listen to the hippos sing or have elephants wander through camp. It's a wonderful set-up - owned and run by the affable, and passionate Leon. His knowledge of bird species and the local flora and fauna is incredibly enlightening. The onsite Sabali team of Elvis and Rhoda deliver a happy, attentive and personal service while Mary cooks up delicious and well presented dishes. High tea, elevenses, and sundowners along the river banks - totally immersive stuff from Camp Sabali. Daily game drives were with our knowledgeable and fun guide Issac. He was full of information, not only about the larger species that draw most visitors, but also about the geographical shaping of the park, numerous birds, plants, river courses, and interaction between the animals. He'll teach you to listen for the alarm calls and watching the sky for scavengers. Thank you Leon (Seb & Ash) for an unforgettable stay at the excellent Camp Sabali. Highly recommended stay in South Luangwa. See you next time!Verified A Memorable Stay with Outstanding Service at Camp Sabali We had an amazing experience staying at Camp Sabali. It offers the perfect mix of luxury and adventure, set in a stunning natural environment. The accommodations were spacious, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged to make the stay relaxing and enjoyable. A big thank you to Leon, the friendly and welcoming owner, who made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. His passion for hospitality is evident in every aspect of the accommodation. The staff were equally incredible—special thanks to Elvis for his outstanding service and for always attending to our needs with a smile. The game safari led by Akim was the highlight of our stay. His deep knowledge and enthusiasm for the wildlife made the experience both educational and exciting. We were fortunate to see an incredible array of animals up close, all thanks to his expertise. I wholeheartedly recommend Camp Sabali to anyone seeking a memorable getaway. It’s a place I’d love to visit again!Verified Trip of a Lifetime Safari in Zambia will always be something special. For me Sabali captured it perfectly. A hidden gem in the bosom of the African Savanna, it doesn’t get better than that. I was greeted with the warmest welcome by Leon at the airport when I landed and immediately I felt at ease. I was travelling alone and as a solo female, that was really important. It's a short drive to the camp from the airport and as soon as we arrived at the camp grounds I was greeted by such a lovely team of staff who introduced themselves by name which I really appreciated and I knew right away I was in good hands. The grounds itself exceeded my expectations. It is beautiful. Steeped in wilderness and luxuriously comfortable, the layout and design is carefully thought out to give the guest comfort, privacy, safety and a spectacular view. Each tent is immaculately kept. You can shower indoors or outdoors under the stars. The décor both inside and out is classy and tastefully done. It intentionally respects the feel of its surroundings blending in nicely with the natural environment. The bed was really comfortable. If it wasn't for a game drive each morning, it would have been a great bed to lie in a little longer but a coffee and biscotti brought to my deck at sunrise was equally enticing. Everything has been carefully thought out to the tiniest detail. You will also eat like royalty here with high tea, and lavish meals prepared on site with fresh ingredients. Rhoda and Elvis, the staff on deck, served exceptionally well which made the dining experience all the more enjoyable. Although I travelled alone, I felt like I had friends here. Sabali has their own dedicated safari guides who are second to none. Isaac and Ackim were phenomenal guides from start to finish every day of my stay. Their knowledge and expertise of the park, its flora, fauna, history, culture and overall biodiversity is top notch. Their care, kindness and and consideration makes the adventure all the more meaningful. Their professionalism and sense of responsibility to both the guest and the environment is first class and humbling. Not only did I come away with so much learning but I had the honour of being in their company on an amazing adventure. They are brilliant. Thanks to Leon and his team I had the trip of a lifetime. It's a real privilege to have had this experience and I hope to stay here again in the future. I hope that my friends do too.Verified PERFECT base camp to explore South Luangwa NP At the end of our intensive safari from Nairobi to South Luangwa we were lucky enough to get to this place. We found extraordinary quality of accommodation, food and hospitality to recreate body, mind and soul in relaxed and contemplative atmosphere. The brandnew lodge looks in any detail care- and tastefully designed. It turned out as perfect base camp to explore the South Luangwa NP.
