at Chamilandu exploring the ebony groves and ox bow
lagoons.
Chamilandu Bush camp offers the connoisseur
comfort class and beauty in one of the Luangwa's
prime river venues. Open to a 180° vista, the front of each tree house chalet provides the exciting frame for all of Luangwa Valleys diversity. Subtle décor adorns the 2m high tree houses. The tasteful blend of wrought iron and brass offsets the cream and pastels that welcome you to rest and relax.
A series of seven ox-bow lagoons yield dramatic habitat changes and attract an abundance of wildlife. |

After an early breakfast at Chamilandu, set off on your walking trail to Chindeni, arriving in time for a hearty brunch.
Spend 2 nights at Chindeni viewing the game from your own private raised wooden decking over the still waters of the lagoon and exploring the evergreen forests on foot. Surrounded by majestic hills, shaded by ancient ebonies and nestled on the apex of an ox-bow lagoon, Chindeni helps weave the spell that is Africa. Chindeni will stand proud in your memory as a place of magic |

Walking south once more, towards the confluence of the Kapamba and Luangwa rivers, Bilimungwe bush camp holds the distinction of being the southernmost camp in the National park.
It offers not only the solitude you have come to enjoy, but also the ideal opportunity to discover yet another face of the Luangwa Valley, exploring on foot or in a vehicle. Bilimungwe's permanent water hole is a popular venue for wildlife and the shallow clear Kapamba River offers the perfect setting to cool down, relax and reflect on the Luangwa encounter that you have just experienced. |
