A flat dog is known as any large reptile of family crocodile. For its location, the name Flatdogs Camp seems apt since it’s perched right there on the banks of the Luangwa River, literally teeming with thousands of these gnarly snouted fellows. Your new neighbours. Well that is, the crocodiles, hippos, the 200 mammal species and 450 bird species found in this area. It’s a wildlife festival. Great news since that's what you came here for.
Offering four different types of accommodation, Flatdogs Camp is ideal for any traveller with a heart for that prolific wildlife encounter. From spacious chalets and safari tents to a unique treehouse getaway or the private tented house for ultimate exclusivity. No matter your preference of room type, the wildlife experience - one in the same.
The dining experience too. The Restaurant is flexible with no set meals or given meal times. It’s up to you. No matter when or where you dine, under the thatched lapa, in the courtyard or garden - all with a view onto the river, the meals are simple but done well.
Lounge around reading a book. Cool off in the pool. Head out on another exciting game drive or walking safari.
