The three main areas to visit in Zambia provide a high standard of accommodation, ranging from well established classic camps and lodges to newer contemporary private houses and camps. There is something to suit everyone and every budget, with excellent service and guiding remaining a high priority.

Tongabezi & Sindabezi Island, Victoria Fals Overlooking the Zambezi River this unique lodge has river-front cottages and large, open-fronted houses, with names such as Honeymoon House and Tree House. Take a banana boat across to the tiny, private island of Sindabezi, with just 4 rustic chalets, and its own resident hippo, Horace! Perfect for chilling out before or after a safari..

The River Club, Victoria Falls An elegant, colonial-style lodge, high on the banks of the Zambezi, the rooms are open-fronted to make the most of the river views. There is an infinity pool, and the lush gardens incorporate a croquet lawn where an evening match against fellow guests is usually fuelled by a glass or two of port!

Sausage Tree Camp, Lower Zambezi Situated in the heart of the beautiful Lower Zambezi National Park, the camp has Bedouin-style tents with open-air bathrooms. The game viewing by vehicle, canoe and on foot, is outstanding. Relax by trying your hand at fly-fishing for the world-renowned tiger fish, or sit and watch carmine bee-eaters nesting in the river banks.

Albida Suite, Chongwe River Camp This stylish arrangement of two custom-designed tents, surrounded by ferro walling, and interspersed with natural wood, is ideal for a family or two couples travelling together. The two rooms share a sitting area complete with comfy sofas, and a dining area overlooking a private plunge pool on the edge of the Zambezi. You can choose to join the other guests in camp for meals, or alternatively the chef can offer a wide variety of dishes, which are served in the privacy of the suite.

Chongwe River House, Lower Zambezi An unusual private house on the Chongwe River accommodating up to 8 guests. A private vehicle and guide, canoes, boat, and swimming pool are all provided exclusively to the house guests. The chef and house manager liaise with guests to make this ideal for small groups or families.

Robin Pope Safaris, South Luangwa Robin Pope is one of Zambia’s best known walking guides. Together with his wife Jo, and a team of experienced rangers, they offer a fantastic safari experience. There are three safari camps, none sleeping more than 12. Mobile walking safaris are a speciality.

Norman Carr Safaris, South Luangwa Norman Carr pioneered walking safaris in the 1950s. His legacy remains with some of the most experienced and knowledgeable guides in Zambia. Guests can walk between rustic bush camps or combine these with a stay in the more luxurious Kapani Lodge.

Tafika Camp, South Luangwa John and Carol Coppinger own and run Tafika Camp, located in the Nsefu sector of the park. This lovely friendly camp has sweeping views down the Luangwa River. Accommodation is in six thatched chalets, each with an open-air bathroom. Renowned for excellent guides and the ultimate luxury of private space in a pristine wilderness area, guests enjoy an exciting variety of activities such as walking trails, day and night drives, microlight flights, mountain biking or a quiet afternoon painting beside Luangwa. Visits to the local village and school give an insight into the culture and life style of the local people.

Mwaleshi Camp, North Luangwa On a bend of the Mwaleshi River, the honey pot of the remote North Luangwa Park, the camp is the perfect base for walking enthusiasts in a pristine wilderness area where the game is shy, being unused to humans. The area is known for lion, buffalo and Cookson’s wildebeest, and a trip to Mwaleshi Falls is a highlight, so don’t forget your cossie! Minimum 4 guests and 3 night stay.

Shumba Camp, Kafue National Park This small luxury tented camp is built in one of Zambia's most important wetlands areas, overlooking Busanga Plains. Dry season attracts large herds of game including rare antelope, and the wet season is a bird watcher's dream come true.
