Mfuwe International Airport (MFU/FLMF) is the main air gateway to South Luangwa National Park in eastern Zambia, located just outside Mfuwe village. It receives scheduled and charter flights, primarily from Lusaka and other regional hubs, and serves safari travelers heading to the park's lodges and camps. Its compact terminal and single paved runway make arrivals and departures quick and convenient.
💡 Local Tip
Pack a soft duffel bag and keep essentials in your carry-on if you are continuing to a bush camp; onward light aircraft transfers often have strict weight limits and limited luggage space.
🚖 Getting There
Most safari lodges arrange pre-booked road transfers from MFU, and the drive to South Luangwa camps usually takes about 30–60 minutes depending on the camp's location. Taxis and public transport are limited, so arrange your pickup in advance. If self-driving, check road conditions in the rainy season (December–March), as some access roads can become rough or impassable.
