Island Bush Camp

Island Bush Camp is owned and operated by Ron & Anke Cowan, along with sister property Kafunta River Lodge located in the main Mfuwe area. Island Bush Camp is 2 1/2 hours drive south of Kafunta River Lodge (so about 3 1/2 hours from Mfuwe airport) in a very remote yet extremely game-rich area of the southern section of the South Luangwa National Park, Zambia. It is in this complete solitude, far away from other crowds, that walking safaris are taking place in the mornings and afternoons. This seasonal, intimate camp lies under a grove of Mahogany trees, right on the banks of the Luangwa River. Island Bush Camp offers authentic bush accommodation in five elevated reed huts, with bucket showers and running water. The huts are open sided with a private verandah overlooking the Luangwa River. The camp runs on solar and paraffin lights, charging facilities are offered via inverters.

Mwamba Bush Camp

Set on the banks of the Mwamba River, a tributary of the Luangwa, the camp, sited under huge evergreen ebony trees, enjoys shady views of perennial water-holes, both of which have hides perched over them for fantastic photographic opportunities or simply quiet times viewing the animals. Mwamba Bush Camp takes only 8 guests in 4 reed and thatch chalets, uniquely designed with two soaring skylights (protected by mosquito gauze) set into the roof allowing you to experience sleeping under the stars. The nights at Mwamba are filled with wildlife action. Bats and owls (Pearl spotted and Scops in particular) set up the background sounds together with whirring cicadas. Puku and Impala alarm calls are often followed by the grunt of a leopard or whoop of a hyena as they pass through camp. Elephants are never far away and are especially fond of the tamarind and ebony fruit within the camp. There are two resident hippo in the waterholes that graze on the river bank at night, completing the picture. The game around Mwamba is excellent; large herds of buffalo, zebra, eland and in particular Cookson’s wildebeest (one of the last herds in the SLNP are found on the plains and in the Mopane/Crocodile bark woodlands close to camp). They are followed by the “Mwamba” lion pride.

Victoria Falls Safari Lodge

Built on a plateau overlooking the Zambezi National Park, Victoria Falls Safari Lodge is just 4km from the majestic Victoria Falls and offers a unique wildlife experience. We’re proud to have been voted Best Safari Lodge/ Resort Hotel in Zimbabwe for 23 consecutive years and look forward to welcoming you to our wonderful destination. Our staff are warm and personable, and will ensure your holiday is hassle-free. Built of thatch and timber, the lodge rises several levels, giving the impression of a vast open-plan tree house. Our rooms all have private balconies, most of which overlook a central waterhole, offering the opportunity to observe herds of buffalo, elephant and kudu, as the sun goes down, and hyenas later in the evening.

Kuyenda Bushcamp

Kuyenda’s four chalets, set beneath large trees by the Manzi River, combine rustic elegance with classic bush style – reed and thatch rondavels overlooking the grassy plain, and a cosy lounge and dining area. When combined with the unequalled hospitality of Phil and Babette, who run the camp, this camp’s simple beauty calls you back again and again.

Chobe Safari Lodge

Chobe Safari Lodge rests on the banks of the mighty Chobe River, and shares a border with the wildlife-rich Chobe National Park. Gaze across the beautiful water from the comfort of a pool-side lounger, and watch the lodge’s resident monkeys as they scurry around and climb up the trees. Chobe Safari Lodge offers guests a range of fun activities including game drives, river cruises, and the lodge’s proximity to Victoria Falls offers the perfect opportunity to take a day trip and watch the cascading water as it pours down, kicking up foam and froth. After a day of exploring and immersing yourself in Botswana’s stunning natural world, sit back and relax at one of the lodge’s two bars, one of which overlooks the Caprivi flood plains and the other witnesses the most spectacular sunsets.

Muchenje Safari Lodge

Resting high on an escarpment, Muchenje Safari Lodge rests within the Chobe Forest Reserve, on the quieter western side of Chobe National Park. There are no fences or boundaries between the park and reserve, meaning that the wildlife can roam freely, and guests can enjoy amazing viewing opportunities from the comfort of their own private cottage. The thatched chalets overlook the Chobe River and its beautiful floodplains, where you may see Chobe’s famous elephant herds drinking from the water. Sit out on your private balcony and enjoy the sweeping landscape from a bird’s eye view.

Pangolin Voyager Houseboat

The Pangolin Voyager Houseboat offers guests an exclusive photography and safari experience. The floating lodge contains 5 cabins and can accommodate a total of 8 guests, giving you plenty of space to enjoy a private and personal safari. The houseboat features a top floor sundeck with loungers and panoramic views from the Chobe River, and the second-floor lounge area also allows spectacular views with its glass walls, which you can enjoy while relaxing on a comfy sofa with a drink from the ship’s bar. The Pangolin Voyager Houseboat is based on the Namibian side of the river, with Chobe National Park on the opposite bank.

River View Lodge

River View Lodge rests on the banks of the Chobe River, overlooking its tranquil waters and vast floodplains. On the lodge’s sunny swimming pool deck, guests can enjoy river views from the comfort of sunloungers with a refreshing beverage from the lodge’s bar. Listen to the singing of Chobe’s prolific birdlife, and look out for elephants, buffalo and antelope who flock to the riverside in herds to drink and bathe. With just 11 comfortable chalets dotted amongst the beautiful riverbank gardens, guests can enjoy a private and peaceful safari experience on the doorstep of the Chobe National Park.

Kadizora Camp

Situated amidst the expansive savannah regions of the Northern Okavango lies Kadizora Camp, characterised by stretching grassy plains, scattered trees and astonishing wetland views. Accommodation is designed with luxury and privacy in mind, comprising various luxury and standard tents with a host of modern amenities. Dining is both lavish and comprehensive, with an abundance of freshly prepared cuisine served each day, particularly with the evening three-course meal that deviates from the buffet style feasts of breakfast and lunch.
