Chamilandu Bushcamp
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.
Why we like it
The elevated structures provide exceptional views, and the frequent visits by elephants make it feel like you are truly living within their domain.
