Description
Chamilandu Bushcamp is a signature, ultra-intimate safari retreat set high on stilts along a sweeping bend of the Luangwa River. Nestled beneath ebony trees, the camp features just three elevated treehouse-style chalets, offering uninterrupted panoramic views of the floodplains where elephants, hippos, and abundant wildlife roam freely.
Designed for exclusivity and immersion, the camp blends raw wilderness with understated luxury—solar-powered comforts, open-fronted living, and a serene atmosphere create a deep, authentic connection to the African bush.
