South Luangwa National Park

The drive to Island Bush Camp will take you through woodlands and riverine landscapes while passing through a couple of authentic villages. At the camp, the views stretch from the Chindeni hills in the Eastern corners of the Luangwa Valley to the Muchinga escarpment in the West, presenting the complete natural boundary of this remote and achingly beautiful wilderness. Every day offers new and unique experiences.

Island Bush Camp offers a pure wilderness experience with walking safaris at the core of its activities.
