Bilimungwe Bushcamp, South Luangwa

It is hard not to be seduced by the charm of Bilimungwe Bushcamp, located in the heart of game-rich South Luangwa in Zambia. Here, the traditions of this African bushcamp meet elegance and style to create a stunning camp that feels like it has grown organically out of the surrounding landscape. Set beneath a huge mahogany tree, the heart of Bilimungwe is a cool, shady lounge area that looks out over one of the camp's three waterholes. Settle down in a cosy armchair with a sundowner and relax, as you watch an enviable display of spectacular birds and animals that clearly feel as comfortable here as you do. With the open waters of the Luangwa River also on your doorstep, and a nearby plain where leopards prowl, it is clear that this is a nature-lover's paradise. With Manda Chisanga - Bilimungwe's award-winning resident guide - to lead you, you could not be in better hands. (In the event that Manda is not available, another guide from the excellent and experienced team will be on hand.)
