South Luangwa National Park, Zambia

Nsolo Bush Camp

Nsolo Bush Camp is one of the South Luangwa National Park's more remote, walking safari camps. The accommodations are quite luxurious. Activities like safari walks and night game drives are special highlights. Game viewing in this part of the park is amazing, especially June through September.  — Mango's view

Nsolo Bush Camp is situated on a bend in the Luwi Sand River that runs through the heart of Zambias South Luangwa National Park, just three hours walk from Luwi Bush Camp. Accommodation in this luxury safari camp consists of four individually designed chalets each on raised wooden decks with high thatched roofs and private verandas. The rooms are very spacious with the stylish furnishings that one would expect from one of Zambias luxury walking safari camps. As with most of our bush camps the bathrooms have no roofs and are set under the shade of the trees above.

At Nsolo you dont usually have to search hard for your African safari experience. The wildlife frequents a waterhole in the dry river-bed in front of the camp and often your most exciting game viewing is from the comfort of your own deck or from the central chitenje (dining and lounge area) that houses the bar and small camp library.

Nsolo is one of the more historic camps in Zambia. It was sited by Norman Carr in 1987 and Shaddy, the Camp Manager and guide, has been studying the wildlife and conducting walking safaris from this camp for over 10 years.

The Luwi river system is renowned for its lion population. Various pride territories overlap in this area and the cats use the dry river bed as a thoroughfare and a means not only of locating their prey, who come to drink, but also of locating their rivals who must be warned away.

Nsolo is one of the South Luangwas more remote, luxury walking safari camps. There are few African experiences more exciting than heading out on a walking safari early in the morning, having heard lions calling through the night, finding fresh tracks and following them up. With voices hushed and hearts beating your mind is suggesting there is a lion behind every bush. This is a true African safari experience. This is big game viewing on foot and at its best.
