Camp Sabali & Safaris

We had such a wonderful staying at Camp Sabali. The staff went over and above to ensure that we were well looked after. The rooms were pristine and very comfortable. We really enjoyed being able to hear all the animals at night! The food was absolutely delicious and I really appreciated the effort that was made to cater for me as a vegan. We were fortunate enough to see leopards, lions, wild dogs, hyenas to name a few. South Luangwa is such a beautiful place and we felt very lucky to stay at Camp Sabali.

We want to thank Leon and he's amazing team for an unforgetable stay in may 2025. Tents were unique located and the aesthetics of the rooms was very nice and every small detail has been thought of. Food was amazing as well, everything was homemade.

Camp Sambali was part of our tour again. The warm welcome immediately made us feel like we were coming home. Personal attention is a top priority here. The high level of professionalism of the safaris was impressive. South Luangwa is one of Africa's greatest national parks and a must-see for all animal and nature lovers. The combination of exciting game drives and the peace and quiet was the perfect start to our African tour. Thank you Leon and the team

Zambia is certainly worth a trip. And i consider especially the South Luangwa a pearl amongst the Parks in southern africa. Our last visit at Camp Sabali was an outstanding experience and so we became returning guests once more. After an epic safari covering half of Africa we had to „commence our descent“ back home to South Africa and Namibia. After some refreshing and very comfortable days at this most decent camp and park we had to wave good by heading towards Zimbabwe. It turned out that we definitely left the comfort zone…

I had a fantastic weekend stay at Camp Sabali. The setting was beautiful and peaceful. Leon and the staff were incredibly friendly, kind, and made us feel very welcome. The game drives in the emerald season were brilliant.I would recommend this stay to anyone wanting to explore South Luangwa!

We (my wife and I) found this gem in the off-season period of March when most lodges are still shut. The clinching point for our choice was that on the Sabali website, Leon and his team conveyed a substantial appreciation of the diverse birdlife that was accessible in the park (and actually around the Sabali Lodge itself). Both our guides (Akim and Moses) were exemplary and Akim had a profound knowledge of the birds and plants we encountered. Leon was extremely generous with his time with us and also a very knowledgeable birder. We could not have wished for a more attentive and polite host. I personally learnt a lot from both him and Akim and was struck with how environmentally attuned the whole team were. Other than rhino we encountered all the usual beasts up close. We were lucky to witness lion and leopard almost every day. We saw Lucy's cubs (leopard) stalking impala and were pretty shocked to be caught in the midst of a baby buffalo kill by the local pride of lions. Sabali's diverse spreads (this was an all-inclusive package) were provided by Mary (the camp cook) and they were all scrumptious with the highlight being the eggs benedict for one of the breakfasts.
