Olimba Camp
About Olimba Camp
Olimba Camp is situated in a remote, pristine sector of the South Luangwa National Park, offering guests a quintessential bushcamp experience far from the main tourist circuits. The camp features elegant, classic canvas tents set under the shade of ancient trees, overlooking the Luangwa River and its associated lagoons. This region is renowned for its exceptional leopard sightings and dense populations of general game. The atmosphere is quiet and contemplative, emphasizing the rhythms of the bush. Days are spent exploring the area by foot or in open vehicles, focusing on the finer details of the ecosystem. It is an ideal choice for the discerning traveller who values privacy, expert bushcraft, and the chance to witness Africa’s wildlife in a truly unspoiled setting.
Why we like it
Its seclusion ensures that you rarely see another vehicle, making your time in the bush feel personal and private.
