We chose Zambia as our first ever safari destination to be able to walk rather than just drive, and the South Luanwga National Park is so rich we got to see most of the animals on the first day, however our time at Puku Ridge was much more than a simple safari! We really enjoyed the morning walks and thorough... More

We have just come back from a fabulous trip to Zambia. Overall, the people are incredibly helpful, very articulate and keen to make your experience truly memorable. This is the first of six reviews I will be doing covering this trip. Puku Ridge is breath taking. The standard of accommodation, the attention to detail, the food, the views, the safari... More

Still cannot believe how much I was privileged too see in just 2 days/3 nights! Lameck was my guide and with his genial courteous good humour I saw 7 lion sightings, 6 leopard sightings, not to mention countless elephants giraffe hippos buffaloes and many more. Many sightings were just a metre or two from our vehicle, and Lameck was a... More

After staying a few nights in another part of the park to see some friends, we spent two nights at Puku Ridge. It was an absolute delight! This part of the park is so much quieter than other areas I have stayed in and it feels like a lovely escape. From the moment we arrived we felt so welcomed. Our... More

We have just returned after having spent 6 amazing days at Puku Ridge. Right from day 1 we were treated by all the staff who could not do enough to make our holiday so special. When we arrived Don and Suku were the managing couple, but when we left, they were our friends. Every detail was taken care of and... More

We spent a few days in Puku Ridge & both had an incredible experience.The tents are perfectly positioned overlooking the flood plane. Don & Nsouko are entertaining hosts; Don with a wonderfully gentle manner, Nsouko, a wicked sense of humour! It is evident their team enjoy their work - everybody we met always had a smile & easy conversation. All... More

After visiting Puku Ridge last September with my in-laws and having an amazing experience, I couldn't think of anywhere better to go when my sister-in-law decided she was coming to Zambia to visit us! Once again, everything about Puku Ridge was exceptional - from the quality of the accommodations to the gourmet meals and fantastic service from all the staff!!... More

Named after the resident puku antelope, this safari camp is a gem. Small and personal it is more than ably managed by the lovely Don and Suku whose guides and staff are all outstanding and go beyond the call to make guests welcome. The location of the camp is perfect - on a small hillside overlooking a floodplain (green during... More

We (2 couples) travelled down from our previous lodge to Sanctuary Puku Ridge, having never stayed there before, but we were absolutely not disappointed. This was an all inclusive bush camp so all drinks (except the expensive spirits) were included. Don, his wife Suku, and their staff could not have been more helpful. The dinners were "gourmet" - plated and... More

Puku Ridge is one of the best places we have stayed at, an intimate lodge with only seven luxury safari tents under thatch. Hosts Don & Suku are a superb team and each guest is treated as a VIP, all the staff are efficient and friendly . The food was high quality and nouveau cuisine at it's best. The view... More
