Stay

The Chalets

Five chalets along the ridge, each with a queen bed and a view of the bush. From $250 per person a night, all inclusive.

All five chalets are built to the same plan: a queen bed, bathrobes, solar lighting and an open front looking out over the reserve. Book one for the two of you, or take the whole camp for a group of eight to ten.

Each chalet is named after one of the peoples of Zambia’s North-Western Province, where Andrew Sardanis, who built the camp, stood for Parliament in 1962.

What the rate covers

All your meals, house drinks and the camp’s activities: game drives, bush walks, fishing and sundowners. Activities run by the main lodge, such as horse riding and the elephant and cheetah walks, can be added.

Meals

Breakfast is served whenever suits you. Dinner is cooked to your timetable, usually a mix of Afro-European and Mediterranean dishes made with local produce. Let us know about allergies or diets before you come.
