Stay at Chindeni Buschcamp

Unquestionably one of the most beautiful camps in the South Luangwa National Park, this collection of tented huts stands at the edge of Chayumba lagoon, where you can often spot hippo and elephant washing and drinking from the water. You can’t help but feel a thrill of adventure sleeping under a canvas cover, listening to the nocturnal animal kingdom as you wind down after a long day of safari.

The central lounge and dining area looks over the lagoon, surrounded by vast ebony trees, and is home to a fully stocked bar. Each tent is kitted out with wooden floors, four-poster beds and en suite bathrooms so there’s no need to compromise comfort for camping. Chindeni Bushcamp is the perfect spot to kick back and relax on your private veranda where the animal spotting is never-ending, or chuck on your walking boots and take a guided tour through the bush.

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.
