Experience intimate safari living beside a wildlife-rich lagoon in South Luangwa’s wild southern reaches
Location: Chindeni Camp is tucked away in the quieter southern part of South Luangwa National Park, perched on the edge of the permanent Chayumba Lagoon. This peaceful spot attracts hippos, elephants and a wide range of birdlife, offering a front-row seat to nature from the moment you arrive.
Rooms: There are four spacious tents at Chindeni, giving the camp an exclusive, peaceful atmosphere. Each tent has wooden floors, vaulted canvas ceilings, cosy lounge areas and en-suite bathrooms. Expect proper beds, two of the tents are doubles with king-size beds, and the other two are twins with queen-size beds, and a private deck overlooking the lagoon.
Amenities: Despite being entirely off-grid, the camp feels luxuriously comfortable. The main dining and bar area is open-air and raised on a wooden deck, perfect for unwinding with a drink as wildlife wanders by.
Activities: Chindeni offers both day and night game drives, as well as expertly guided walking safaris. The surrounding area is known for its varied wildlife, including regular sightings of elephants, crocodiles and big cats.
Sustainability: Chindeni is electricity-free and designed to blend in with its environment, helping preserve the pristine wilderness it calls home.
