This remote and intimate camp lies within the National Park and enjoys a stunning location on a sweeping bend of the Luangwa River. A grove of mahogany trees shade the large custom-made tents and from the thatched dining room and bar, guests can watch the elephants, hippo and antelope on the riverbank. Nearby there is a spectacular lagoon, Buca Buca, where a whole morning can be spent quietly sitting while the game comes down and drink.
Location:
Situated within the South Luangwa National Park, on a sweeping bend of the Luangwa River.
Accommodation and facilities:
The spacious tents are beautifully furnished in rich colours with Persian rugs, hand-dyed Indian cotton bed-spreads and Bedouin cushions creating a homely and attractive environment. The bathrooms are made from woven bamboo and join the tents under a large grass archway. Each tent has been carefully positioned to incorporate a stunning view of a waterhole. The front of the tent is designed to roll up completely allowing the guests to watch and admire from the privacy of their own veranda. The bar is situated under a large tent that expands into the canopy of an old established Natal mahogany tree. Delicious meals, accompanied by a fine selection of wines are served in the dining room, overlooking both the Luangwa River and the waterhole.
Activities:
Game drives are conducted in open 4x4 vehicles accompanied by knowledgeable safari guides. Night drives set out in the afternoon and after watching the sun set over the river with a sundowner in hand, the drive continues with a powerful spotlight. The camp is also renowned for its bush walks which are led by an experienced naturalist and accompanied by an armed game scout.
Special attractions:
The waterhole next to camp and close to the tents attracts game throughout the day, allowing guests to enjoy the fabulous sight of watching elephants drink only twenty metres away from their beds!
