Awesome Camp, Great Trip!
“Loved every minute here! Our first trip to Africa and this checked every box! Beautiful setting, right on the Zambezi River looking at the mountainside in Zambia and all the river wildlife you can imagine. The camp is lovely, not over the top but very comfortable, organized, and practical. Best of all was the staff though — Bridget, Jay Jay, Katheryn to name only a few, made our stay so pleasant! The tents are very nice, all with great river views and showers with the same scenery! Our guide, Divine, wax the absolute BEST, the perfect combination of knowledge, experience, humor and patience. He can drive with one hand, no headlights, in the dark while looking for animals with a red light without killing anybody! Very impressive.”

Exceptional Experience with Wilderness Safaris
“This camp is amazing, a combination of superb service and an amazing safari experience. The guide was exceptional, with the breadth of knowledge worthy of a professor. Our game rides were awesome, accompanied by a fount of knowledge from our guide. Rides were not on paved roads like some parks and the camp is within the park, not outside, giving more of safari experience. We traveled on trails and tracks, bumpy, some smooth. Sunsets were glorious. Morning and evening drives included tea time near watering holes so we could watch the animals. The beauty of the area is incredible. Even though the camp is in the park, we never worried about safety. At night, we were escorted to our tent. During the day we simply looked around for nearby animals, never were accosted by any.”

Beautiful location on the Zambezi
“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at camp. The staff was accommodating, our guide, Liberty was knowledgeable and engaging. Be prepared for elephants – everywhere! Mid-afternoon, we had elephants literally looking into our tents – somewhat unnerving, but beautiful beasts. The location along the river is spectacular, food was very nice, and the tents were high end in the range of safari camps.”
