TRAVELLER FEEDBACK:
This camp is one of the cheaper options but has all the facilities and options for visiting the park. (2019).
Try to get a riverfront site!
“Still the most fantastic camp! Had some Ellies in at the Waterhole, hippos and crocs in the river and all the plains game enroute to the Lodge from the Campsite. Power points (SA and EU types) at alternating sites - We should have stayed longer ;-)” - Henk van der Walt, 2024/02/20
“Stayed here for second time in August 2017. Great facilities and location - not all campsites are on the river front though. Evening game drive very successful, leopard, lion, elephant, even a puff adder, and two honey badgers. Bar is great place to relax.” - Mike Jansen, 2017/09/19
“We camped here in September 2013. The site is large and we were lucky to get one of the riverfront sites. The pool and bar was very refreshing in the heat! The camp has a beautiful view in a bend of the Luangwa river, with stunning sunsets. Game frequent the camp, especially at night. ” - Mietsie Visser, 2013/10/09
“The camp site is on the river bank and appears to be open all year round. Used by Overland trucks so can get very crowded. Access to electricity if you hunt for it.” - David Clack, 2009/02/01
