Stay at Chamilandu Buschcamp

This exclusive camp consists of just three stilted chalets, and nothing is quite so special as waking up to the view of hippos bathing in the Luangwa River beneath you from the comfort of your four-poster bed. The towering ebony trees not only keep the camp cool and shaded, they provide a home for an abundance of wildlife.

With seven oxbow lagoons in the surrounding area, there’s always the opportunity to spot some thirsty animals looking for a drink. They even have a hide, which looks over one of the lagoons, where you can chill out and watch the wildlife passing by, or to have a mid-afternoon nap to the sounds of animals washing.

The team at True Travel had a simple brief: to send us on the world’s best family safari. As soon as our boat headed down the Zambezi, it all kicked off; we passed a herd of hippos, a lazy crocodile and a giraffe drinking nonchalantly on the riverbank. A magical experience from beginning to end. Nothing was too much trouble and if we had any issue that needed resolving, there was always someone on hand to do this. Before and after, they were off the charts – simply an awesome team.
