Everwild - Pure Wilderness Hospitality

Your invitation to reconnect to the wilderness.

Over the years we have been involved in safari tourism, we noticed a clear trend. Our guests longed for wild experiences. Given the choice between showering inside or beneath the skies, they always chose outside. Or, if choosing to spend the night in a lodge or a sleep out under the stars, most people chose the sleep out. We realised our guests NEEDED to be hosted by wilderness. So we decided to open a portfolio of camps and experiences offering all of the wild with none of the discomfort.

We have called it Everwild and we would love to share it with you!

LUANGWA VALLEY

Luambe Camp

Deep in the Luangwa and the only camp in the Luambe National Park. For years a place written off by many and abandoned to hunters. Now the game numbers rebound year on year, the rasping call of leopard and roars of lion echo across the valley nightly. For 5 months a year, a scattering of people get to experience having a piece of the Luangwa to themselves.

BAROTSELAND

Lumbe Pools

Barotseland is Africa’s wild west. A hard to reach place occupied by hard to beat people. It’s also home to the last untamed stretch of the Zambezi. A region where the Zambezi River dictates the pace of life and where joy and adventure bubble and rush like the water over granite. Wild Barotse Camps with it’s flagship Lumbe Pools property will capture your heart and mind and hold them long after you leave.

LIVINGSTONE

Taita Falcon Lodge

Ravaged by Covid, this bush camp built from natural materials seems completely out of place with the normal concrete and air conditioned structures found around Victoria Falls and Livingstone. But free from the constant chunking of helicopters and perched high over the spectacular Batoka Gorge, Taita offers a rare combination of proximity to Livingstone adventure and bush serenity loved by falcons, eagles and guests alike.

What do the Everwild camps in common?

Our camps and our locations may differ, but they all share the following 3 traits:

01.

We will always ensure our guests are safe and comfortable (we haven’t lost anyone yet! 😉) BUT we also love to have as much of the ‘outside’ in and around us as possible!

02.

They are located in remote, wilderness spaces. HINT – plan for adventurous drives into camp!

03.

All the camps have a restoration story – there is a background narrative where the camp or site or region was previously declared to be too difficult, too remote or too abandoned yet, they are all back and delivering incredible experiences again.

Where did Everwild come from?

We are a group of friends made up of conservationists, biologists, entrepreneurs, graphic designers, social impact consultants and investment advisors who got together to build something special in Zambia. Some of us have tourism experience, some of us don’t. What we have in common is that we want to see tourism work and we want people to be touched by the Zambia we love.

“Thank you very much for the wonderful few days we have just spent at your two lovely camps. I can state without doubt that that was the most outstanding level of service I and the rest of us have experienced on a trip.

– MICK COOK, OCTOBER 2023

Position

We probably could have chosen MUCH easier camps to work with. None of our camps are an easy ride or convenient little hop to get to. That makes our operations hard and the experience of those who visit, wild and special. Just the way we like it.

Purpose

An Everwild camp or property is purposed to accomplish something special in its area of influence and operation. It must exist and succeed for more than just our own needs.

Product

We’re about memories and experiences that never leave you so everything we do is aimed to achieve that.

Profit

Too many wild places have been lost because with all the passion in the world, they weren’t profitable. Sound tourism and business practices that benefit guests and communities are a high priority for us.

People

The lives of BOTH the people who visit our camps and those who work within them must be changed through their experiences with Ever Wild.
