Kakuli Bush Camp, South Luangwa
The only true bush camp in the South Luangwa National Park, the Kakuli Bush Camp offers an authentic safari experience with spectacular views on the banks of the Luangwa River.
The Kakuli Bush Camp is situated on an elevated stretch of river bank overlooking a wide grazing lawn which follows the Luangwa River until it meets the confluence of the Luwi River, and this area of the park is renowned for offering some of the best game viewing opportunities in Zambia.
Accommodation is provided in four beautiful traditional walk-in tents made from natural materials, all of which have en-suite bathrooms and have been immaculately furnished and decorated.
Chinzombo, South Luangwa
Set within 60 acres of private land on the Luangwa River this newly constructed luxury camp offers the highest levels of comfort, style and elegance in one of the most game rich areas of the Luangwa National Park.
Designed by award winning architects, Chinzombo brings a level of luxury previously unseen in the Luangwa Valley. Although the camp is fantastically luxurious, a lot of work has gone in to ensuring that it retains an authentic bush feeling and great detail has been applied to the grass and canvas walls which adorn the spacious living areas and blend into the beautiful surroundings of the camp.
Accommodation is provided in six stunning spacious villas with very large bathrooms and grand sleeping areas. Luxurious and comfortable beds will ensure a great night's sleep and with each villa having its own private swimming pool you can relax in the sun or take a midnight dip under the crystal clear skies.
