Early morning views don't get much better than the rippling waters of the Luangwa River, the gentle rise of the Chindeni Hills and a vast Zambian sky...unless of course you are lying in a four poster bed in a stilted tree-house. That would make it better.

THE CAMP

There are just three stilted chalets at this exclusive camp perched right on the edge of the Luangwa River. Set on the riverbannk beneath a soaring ebony grove, you can watch as animals roam across the landcape or swing through the trees above your head. Each has its own raised veranda to loll on during the heat of the day, an open-fronted en-suite bathroom with the same magnificent views over the transuil waters. Exceptional game viewing and understated elegance make Chamilandu a place to remember.

ACTIVITIES

Walking safaris with your expert guide explore the impressive range of habitats in the area. With no fewer than seven oxbow lagoons behind camp, there are always thirsty animals around seeking refreshment. The hide looks out over one of the lagoons and is the perfect place to lunch, take tea or enjoy an afternoon in the hammock to the soundtrack of bathing elephants.
