Island Bush Camp

Island Bush Camp, nestled on the banks of the Luangwa River in Zambia, offers an authentic and remote wilderness experience within the unspoiled South Luangwa National Park. The camp provides a deep immersion into nature, with walking safaris as a core activity, allowing guests to truly connect with the surrounding wilderness. Every day brings unique encounters, from breathtaking views of the Chindeni hills and Muchinga escarpment to observing wildlife from the comfort of the camp. The camp emphasizes a pure, unadulterated safari adventure, focusing on the natural beauty and tranquility of its breathtaking location. The camp’s rustic charm is complemented by its unique facilities, including an open-air bush kitchen where delicious meals are prepared over a wood-burning stove, offering guests a memorable "kitchen safari" tour. The communal lounge area provides a relaxing space to unwind, enjoy a drink, and observe the riverine wildlife. Accommodation consists of five open-fronted bush chalets, elevated on wooden platforms, designed to maximize river views and allow the natural sounds of the bush to create an immersive experience. Guests can enjoy warm showers while watching hippos in the river before retiring under protective mosquito nets.
