Bridge Camp is ideally placed for travelers as a stop-over point between Malawi, South Luangwa National Park and Lusaka,       Victoria Falls.

The Lodge itself is situated in the hills overlooking the Luangwa River, 230 kms from Lusaka on the Great East Road.  

Coming from Lusaka, just before the Luangwa Bridge, turn right for 3km onto Feira Road (good dirt road immediately after roadside market -  Bridge Camp is signposted at turn-off to Luangwa). Driving time from Lusaka is 2.5 hours, on a very good, rebuilt section of the Great East Road. 

Coming from Chipata, about 1.5 kms after crossing the bridge over the river, turn left for 3km onto Feira Road.

All chalets are fully mosquito gauzed.

Lighting is by generator to 22h00, thereafter by solar lighting inside the chalets.

We have two campsites: one smaller one on the main lodge site and another large one just 200 metres along the dirt road.  

Both are sited on grass under shade-giving trees with camp fire, sinks and braai facilities. 

The ablution blocks comprise flush toilets and hot and cold showers.
