PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS:
- Chindeni Bushcamp is an intimate safari camp situated on the banks of a lagoon with a spectacular backdrop of the Chindeni Hills, deep in Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park. This luxurious tented camp has an air of exclusivity and a modern, minimalist design.
- The camp provides four spacious and beautifully decorated canvas tents designed for maximum comfort. Built on platforms along the edge of lagoon, the tents come with a private veranda, the perfect spot to relax on as you listen to hippos chortling and elephants wallowing in the lagoon.
- Expect to see good numbers of hippo, crocodiles, a huge variety of waterbirds and of course the animals which come down to drink every day. The camp is thoughtfully designed with a splendid split-level deck – the top for dining, with a large dining table and underneath for relaxing with comfortable chairs and a great view.
- Start the day with a delicious breakfast around the campfire then head out on foot to explore the area. After a few hours relaxation time, experience the thrill of a game drive and as night falls, you may even spot the elusive leopard.
- Day and night game drives and walks in the bush accompanied by a guide and scout. Bird-watching and wildlife viewing from your private deck. Focus on walking safaris, but also offers 4×4 night drives.
