Zambia ~ Wild, Remote, Untamed Wilderness!
Authentic, owner run camps offering a safari with a difference! For the more Adventurous, looking to enjoy an authentic safari, experiences, flexibility, and a hint of adventure!
Taking the safari experience back to its uncomplicated & authentic roots.
We have started with Nkonzi Camp as it offers an authentic yet gentle introduction to the bush environment of South Luangwa. Deep in the heart of South Luangwa National Park, Nkonzi Camp is a unique tented camp offering a remarkable safari experience. Nkonzi is small and intimate, a place where every guest receives personalized attention.
Then onto the Lower Zambezi which must be the highlight in our opinion. Kutali and Chula fly camps are operated between two very different sites on the beautiful eastern section of the lower Zambezi river - fully mobile - the camp has a well-stocked bar and seating area under canvas and ensuite bathrooms. The fly camps are light weight and a textbook example of how light luxury in the wilderness can be. Ending at Chundukwa River Lodge will give you the opportunity to wind down, enjoy the Zambezi River, the Falls and a chance to experience Livingstone and to learn about the local community (who are very dear to the owners, Doug and Gail).
Chundukwa River Lodge is a destination in itself, half an hour’s drive from Livingstone, 36km upstream of the Victoria Falls. Come here to retreat, relax, recover, horse-ride, bird-watch, cruise on the Zambezi, explore the Victoria Falls and try some of the adventure and safari activities in the area.
If you enjoy horse riding then we would suggest a 3- or 4-night stay at Chundukwa as Doug, who is a top horseman, has a wonderful stable of horses and offers a choice of riding safaris.
