Bush Camps

All safari countries have superb little bush camps, often with their own grass airstrip so you can fly straight in, starting your safari the minute you land.  Old Mondoro in Zambia is a classic example.  It is set among big old trees on the banks of the Zambezi River.  Elephant, buffalo and antelope sometimes walk through Old Mondoro as if it isn’t there.  An elephant might appear beside the dining lodge as you enjoy lunch before she takes a swim in the Zambezi.

Lebala Camp in Botswana is another excellent bush camp, set on a huge private reserve where great herds roam the savannah plains.  Each spacious tent at Lebala has a large bed, simple furniture, en suite bathroom with bath, shower and flush wc all set on a big wooden deck raised off the ground.  It would take three hours to drive to the next nearest camp, so you can enjoy a real sense of privacy at Lebala.

In northern Tanzania, we can arrange for you to stay at a semi-mobile bush camp which is relocated to follow the great wildebeest migration as it moves across the Serengeti plains.  This is a real “Out of Africa” experience.  The camp has four spacious tents each with large bed, simple furniture and en suite shower and wc.  An experienced support team runs the camp and prepares delicious meals which you can enjoy al fresco or in the dining tent. This camp is always located on a remote private site and each separate party of guests has their own private vehicle and guide.

Africa’s bush camps can provide some of the finest safari experiences. We know them intimately. Call us to begin planning a safari of a lifetime.
