Intimate and
understated yet offering every luxury you could wish for, Lugenda is the
definitive wilderness camp experience. The eight luxury tents are
discreetly situated on the banks of the Lugenda River beneath towering
fig trees, each with its own patio deck with wide-angle views. The tents
have a solid substructure and blend beautifully into the natural
surrounds whilst offering every modern comfort - from king-size beds to
en-suite bathrooms with bath and shower, double basins, ceiling fans,
personal safes and hairdryers.
The elegant
timber and thatched guest area is at the heart of camp and is a shady
refuge from the African sun - a tranquil place to dine, help yourself
from the bar or read through books on the region's fascinating history.
Just metres from the banks of the river, the swimming pool tempts with
its cool sparkling waters whilst sun loungers and umbrellas invite you
to laze for hours.
Despite being in
the heart of the Mozambique wilderness, the food at Lugenda is fresh and
simply delicious. Guests are woken with piping-hot coffee or tea and
muffins in the early mornings for sunrise game drives or walks.
Leisurely breakfasts and lunches are taken in the living area
overlooking the Lugenda river-bed. High tea is served before the
afternoon game drive and you can watch the spectacular African sun set
over the Niassa mountains during sundowners. At night you join the other
guests for a charming river-bed or boma dinner, while taking in the
African night sounds and smells and gazing at the breathtaking
Mozambique night sky.
Lugenda's
collection of fine wines meets the most discerning tastes whilst our
guides reveal some fascinating insights into the region's history and
geography. With all your senses engaged, you cannot help but be sated by
this indulgent Mozambique safari experience.
