Sanctuary Puku
Ridge Camp - South Luangwa National Park (Zambia)
|
Location:
Puku
Ridge tented camp is located1 in a remote wildlife area in South
Luangwa National Park. Puku Ridge is located in a very high game
rich wild life area.
For millennia, this low,
rocky ridge has overlooked the wide, water-rich valley. From this
vantage point among the trees, predators and hunters would quietly
observe the prolific hunting grounds spread out below.
But now
visitors come to Puku Ridge to revel in the abundance of wildlife
and the comforts of a traditional old-world safari camp.Named for the elusive
Puku antelope which never strays far from water, this beautiful camp
among the trees overlooks a sweeping expanse of the fertile Kakumbi
dambo (valley). Here, the living is easy for both visitors and
wildlife. |
