Directions by road to The Wildlife Camp:
Drive to Chipata (about 15 km [9.3 miles] from the Malawi border in the Eastern Province of Zambia). Take the signpost to South Luangwa National Park, Zambia (coming from Malawi, as you go under the arch at the end of Chipata town turn right, or if coming from Lusaka, it is a left turn just before you would go under the arch signalling the start of Chipata town).
Follow the road for approximately 3-4 hours (about 140 km [87 miles]), keep following signs to South Luangwa National Park, Zambia. The road is mainly dirt with two small stretches of tarmac. Parts of it are being graded each year, but rains have their influences. When you have passed through the Jumbe police check stop, you will be almost onto the good road again!
When you reach the tarmac junction, the airport is to the left, you must turn right to come to Wildlife Camp. Follow the good tar road for about 20 minutes and as you come to the BP fuel station, look for the left turn ahead of you. The main gate to the national park is straight on and you need to turn left to Wildlife Camp. Follow the signs for another 3km (1.9 miles).
