About Chamilandu Bushcamp

Positioned along the banks of the Luangwa River, Chamilandu Bushcamp offers an intimate, classic tented experience in the South Luangwa. The camp is set among a grove of majestic ebony trees, providing both shade and a picturesque backdrop for watching the passing river wildlife. The region is known for its beautiful, river-sculpted landscape and frequent elephant sightings, which often wander right through the camp. The focus at Chamilandu is on a slow-paced, deeply immersive safari, with expert-led walking safaris and game drives that reveal the intricate biodiversity of the area. It is a place for those who appreciate the harmony between human comfort and wild nature, providing an authentic, refined window into the daily lives of the Luangwa’s iconic species.
