It’s the only National Park in the world where you are allowed to freely walk with the wild animals and get to experience Africa as it should be - on foot!

The Camp

6 Meru style canvas tents under a double fly sheet make up the compliment of 12 beds. Each tent has en-suite bathroom facilities with flush loo and overhanging safari-style bucket showers. Inside the tent is a lit changing area complete with a running water basin. With privacy in mind, the tents are generously spaced out along the floodplain adjacent to the Zambezi River. There is a star gazing sleep-out platform for the more adventurous safari traveler.

The dining area is centrally located between the tents, positioned in thick shade, and there is a campfire overlooking the floodplain for evening cocktails and snacks before dinner. Enjoy sun-downers with hippos on the banks of the Zambezi River and bird watch over 400 species of birds.

Activities

There is a variety of activities available at the Camp. Game Drives happen from a 9 seater landcruisers so everyone has a "window seat". Walking in the National Park is lead by professional, armed and licensed guides. Catch a variety of species from the great African Tiger Fish to the tasty Tilapia with the Land based fishing available at the Camp.
