Far and Wild Honeymoon

The charm and romance of Kapamba is most obvious in its four spacious en-suite chalets.
Dark russet walls, oversized beds with linen throws, big mosquito nets and copper accents create a
peaceful ambience to rest and restore after game drives and walking safaris.

The bathrooms feature indoor showers opening out to the outdoors, the ultimate in bush indulgence
Clever wrought-iron shutters are drawn each evening so that you can enjoy the sights and sounds of the African night without worrying about unwanted visitors wandering into your room whilst you sleep.

Two of the chalets have tree top salas overlooking the river, a place to game view, read, snooze, or just relax in calm solitude during afternoon siestas.

Kapamba is one of only two bushcamps in the park to stay open from April until January, the other being Zungulila.

Up to eight guests can enjoy the serenity of Zungulila in four spacious tents. Built under thatch roofs, each shaded tent has its own private bamboo veranda with immense views over an impressive variety of wildlife – from thirsty elephant at the springs and flocks of birds on the river, to prowling lion and large herds of buffalo on the grassy plains. With stylish interiors, ensuite bathrooms, hot-and-cold running water, outdoor showers and sunken plunge-pool you can enjoy your creatures and your creature comforts in this classic tented bushcamp. Two of the tents are twins (2 queen-sized beds), while two are doubles (king bed). Zungulila is open from April to January.
