Information
First protected in the 1880s by King Lewanika of the Lozi people, Liuwa Plain is one of the earliest game reserves in Africa. The plains are unspoilt and exclusive with rare game and a rich natural history. A natural extension of the vast landscape, the Time + Tide King Lewanika villas have an effortless flow between the in
and out.
Feel the rhythm drummed by the hooves of migrating wildebeest, the wing beats of cranes taking flight and the distant rumble of a thunderstorm on the horizon. Take in the sea of wildflowers stretching out across the savannah. Get up close and personal with a clan of curious hyenas.
The only permanent camp in Liuwa Plain National Park, its six open-front luxury tents (including a two-bedroom, two-bathroom family luxury tent) are the essence of pure and simple luxury.
