Highlights & What to Expect

  • Daily day & night game drives with experienced rangers and trackers.
  • Walking safaris for an intimate, ground-level perspective.
  • Optional private vehicle and guide (additional cost).
  • Seasonal hippo hide (typically late Aug–Oct) for close, low-impact viewing.
  • Open season: late May to end of October for prime, exclusive sightings.

Location & Setting

In the exclusive Nsefu Sector, the camp’s central area curves around a sculpted termite mound beneath towering mahoganies, with multiple lounge and dining nooks overlooking the Luangwa River—a magnet for wildlife throughout the dry season.

Rooms

Six spacious, luxury tented suites sit in deep shade with river views. It’s common to watch elephants, hippos, and antelope drift to the water in the late afternoon—right from your veranda. Each suite is en suite and thoughtfully appointed.

Facilities

Beyond drives and walks, seasonal village visits to Kawaza offer genuine cultural insight. Guided walks are led by an expert guide and accompanied by an armed scout for safety. Evenings glow with lantern light and the river’s gentle soundtrack.
