THE
LUANGWA ENCOUNTER
Mobile safaris have long been an exciting way to relive the
past, a way to follow in the footsteps of the great explorers,
a chance to walk as primitive man did, among the untouched
earth, in amongst the last of the great bastions of wildlife.
|
|
|
The Bushcamp Company
offers adventurers one of the
largest surviving venues to relive the past solitude and grace of
unchanged Africa and a chance to view and experience the bush in its most untouched and virginal
forms.
|
| We
have decided to take the concept one step
further, offering adventurers the thrill of a walking safari, combined
with the remote luxury of three small exclusive bush camps.
The Bushcamp Company's high standards and personal attention to
detail make each camp an individual luxury for the traveller. |
|
|
The combination of the adventure of walking, coupled with the opportunity to spoil yourself
with hot refreshing showers and exceptional hospitality at each camp
makes this the ultimate safari experience.
|
|
As your steps carry you through the wilderness during a 9 day/8
night mobile you will spend evenings relaxing in style. |

LUANGWA ENCOUNTER

|

prime river venues. |

Chamilandu
Bushcamp has a 180° open vista and the front of each tree house chalet provides
the exciting frame for all of Luangwa Valleys diversity.
Subtle décor adorns the 2m high tree houses. The tasteful
