Chamilandu is the only safari camp at which I have ever been seriously tempted to skip the morning game drive and just lie in bed taking in the fantastic views of the Luangwa River from the bed... I didn't of course, but the temptation was there each spectacular dawn. I stayed for 3 nights with my wife and 5 yr... More

Chamilandu was one of three bush camp company locations we stayed at during the best safari holiday we have had to date. The location is stunning, the hospitality and service were both informal and excellent. The accommodation is Fantastic, Tree house style rooms, open to the bush and adding to the overall experience of being in the wild. We enjoyed... More

Wow! is the first thing to enter your head on arriving at Chamilandu. It is beautiful. The staff gave us a warm welcome. Zillah, the host, couldn't have done more to make you feel at home. She regularly brought me ice to ease the discomfort of insect bites and provided reassurance when discovering fresh leopard footprints next to my chalet....and... More

Chamilandu Bushcamp is one of the best bushcamps I have been to in many years of Safari in South Luangwa National Park. I am just trying to work out why it took so long for me to go there. The camp is wonderfully constructed and each raised tree house has a wonderful view out over the river, with a stunning... More

The camp consists of 3 raised platform (about 4 feet off the ground) thatched tree houses overlooking the Luangwa River. Your bedroom area overlooks the river as does the bathroom area. The treehouse has 2 queen size comfy beds under mosquito netting. The décor is tasteful and very African themed. There is a desk and chair area at the foot... More

My wife and I have stayed at Chamilandu four times in the past 8 years and it still is our favorite Bushcamp. Secure in its elevated construction, the 3 chalets offer us our optimum experience. Totally open on one side, you have an unobstructed river view from your bed and lounging area and the bathroom is better yet! No roof!... More

Breathtaking views across the river and a beautiful setting amongst the huge trees make this the prettiest camp we visited on our recent visit to the Luangwa. Apart from one 'all-too-exciting' moment on one of the morning walks, the game viewing highlights included the night stalk by the leopard (we lost patience before he did) and a hyena-steals-puku moment. Closer... More

Chamilandu was the last of four safari camps we visited in Botswana and Zambia and was absolutely the best! The stunning setting, beautiful cabin open to the environment and unique wildlife hide and friendly staff made this camp so very special. The game drives and foot safari with expert guides ensured we saw an amazing range of wild life and... More

We stayed 3 nights at Chamilandu and loved it. The view from our bed/terrace/shower was stunning. The food was surprisingly really good. And the staff were fab. It was both our birthdays when we were at Chamilandu and the staff went out of their way to make it truly memorable (their voices when they sung happy birthday were very beautiful).... More
