Croc Valley Camp

Perfect camp if you are travelling with a lower budget and/or alone. I stayed in a tent, which was not luxurious but had everything you needed. The food was nice and it was no problem for them to accommodate a vegetarian diet. 
The safari drives well-organized and our guide Simon was very knowledgeable. 
Between the game drives, I enjoyed spending time at the pool. 
Also the staff was very friendly and helped out wherever possible.

We as a family spent 11 nights at Croc Valley Camp and it was FANTASTIC. Staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and the safari drives were guided by the best guides who ensured we saw everything.

Thanks to Hebert for managing our demands for the extended period. To Simon and Mike for making the safari drives magical. To Obine, Felix and Philamone for ensuring that we were well fed.

Fantastic trip and nice chill out areas between drives.

Croc Valley Camp is an awesome and affordable place, located right at the Luangwa River. You’ll often see Hippos, Elephants, Bushbuks and Baboons in Camp. Everyone in camp is very nice and the guides have a lot of knowledge. Safaris in South-Luangwa are just magical! The Best park in Africa!!

I absolutely loved my stay at Croc Valley. The camp is stunning and the staff are very friendly and helpful. I would recommend anyone who visits the South Luangwa to stay here for a few nights.

The game drives offered were amazing, saw leopard every day and lions very regularly. 

Fantastic views from our campsite.  Friendly owners.  Bar area for evening sundowners and a pool for swimming.  Monkeys are an issue but if you are careful then shouldn’t bother you too much. We spent the night listening to the hippos in the river.

Right at the river bank of Luangwa and next to the park entrance, Croc valley is an ideal place for you to stay. My wife and I just visited Croc Valley, what an amazing place to stay. Friendly and helpful staff, always with a welcoming smile. And Herbert Mkanda makes sure you are enjoying your stay. With knowledgeable guides, game drives were the highlights of our stay. We managed to see the big four of the big five and loads of wild animals. I would recommend Croc Valley for your next safari holiday in South Luangwa national park, Zambia. As for myself am visiting again next year. Thanks Croc Valley and see you next year.

Croc Valley was our objective in a one month camping trip, and it proved to be spectacular. Apart from visits in camp by Ellies, Hippo and yes Wild Dog, the sites were well maintained and spacious with splendid facilities. The rides into the park were spectacular however the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff was exemplorary, even when it came to punctures and broken jockey wheel. If you have a bucket list for Southern African adventure, stick this one at the top !!

I booked with my family (8 in total) four river front tents for four nights with full board. We initally booked for 2020, due to Covid, we could only travel in 2022, while Croc Valley just kept our reservation without problem. Transfer with a van from and to Lusaka was conveniently organised. Location of the tent along the river is magnificent. Staff is very friendly and helpfull. The game drives were  amazing, we had very good sights of leopards, pity that we didnt see any lions. Food is good and plenty too. Special compliments for the cooks who really dealt well with our dietary requirements (gluten and lactose free). Lastly, Croc Valley really provides value for money, I can really recommend them if you are travelling on a limited budget. And South Luangwa might be one of the nicest Parks you will ever see.

We had a great Safari experience with Croc Valley. It already starts with the excellent location of the lodge and the bar/restaurant just above the river shore: crocs and hippos right underneath your nose and in the evening elefants crossing the river. We booked morning and night drives and a walking safari and our guide (Chadric) was absolutely superb and knowlegable.  The walking safari was amongst the best safari experiences ever. And one night a huge elefant crossed the camp.

One mor hint: We tried to walk to the lodge from Mfue, but this is not recommended. Encounters with Elefants and Buffaloes are highly probable, even outside the boudaries of the national park. Better pay the taxi a little extra fee to deliver you at doorstep.

This was a great place, next to the river and park entrance. It was easy to see hippos and crocodiles during the day from the bar, and I had elephants, hippos and a hyena outside my chalet during the night. 
The staff here are the best, especially the guide Simon, who helped me to see so much wildlife (6 leopards in 5 game drives!). 
I definitely recommend staying here if you visit South Luangwa.

Perfect camp for a lower budget

Fantastic camp with friendly staff

The Croc valley camp is a remarkable place. The reason for it not being 5 star is the urgent need for some renovations to make it the complete experience. In all other aspects this camp is a perfect location on the river bank. The exceptional staff, friendly and service minded.  The tour guide, Simon, Washington the best guide. Very competent and always getting us up close and personal with the wildlife. We were a big group of people with small kids and grown ups, and all of us had a great time there. Recomend to stay on longer than just a couple of days to really let the camp of the site sink in. We stayed for 8 days and really enjoyed ourselves to the fullest. 

Croc Vally, calm and beautiful. 

Solid work by Herbert, Martin and the Bernards. The team is really amazing! Very satisfied with all the safaris I've done with Bernard, I feel like he really understood how to deliver what people were wishing to see (if that's even possible). When it comes to the ecotents a mosquito net inside would've been great.

Great safaris with Bernard

A lovely camp on the edge of south luangwa national park. We spent 3 nights camping at Croc valley, and had front row seats to the river, with great views of the park. The camping is easy and comfortable and they offer a seating area and firewood. The restaurant and bar area is great for chilling out and catching a glimpse of the hippos ducking and diving in the river. The owner and staff are great and super helpful and can help with tours and tips in the area. Would recommend if passing through.

Great camping in the heart of South Luangwa

We had a lovely stay at Croc Valley. It is low season, so the lodge was very quiet, which means we had excellent service! So many people were available to help all the time. The accommodations were clean, though are starting to show wear (I have stayed here multiple times, so I think the wear is due to lack of guests/income the last few years). The river was lovely, food was good, only the monkeys get a thumbs down.
