Day 2-4

Chamilandu Bushcamp

Chamilandu Bushcamp

You'll transfer to your first bush camp after you've enjoyed an early morning game drive and a bush breakfast. Your transfer is treated as a game drive and you'll arrive in camp in time for lunch and a siesta.

The luxury bush camps are just 4 bed-roomed which means a lot of personal attention. You'll be with a maximum of 6 other guests and less if there are any single occupants.

Afternoon game drive, checking out the area, sundowners at a pretty spot and then a night drive back to camp.

Relax over dinner and choose your itinerary for the following day; whether it’s a game walk or drive it’s worth bearing in mind that photography is much easier from a 4x4 and you will be able to travel further afield than if you were on foot. That said, your choice will depends on what you want to get out of the safari experience, there’s nothing like the delights of seeing, feeling and smelling the bush up close and your stay should include at least one unforgettable bush walk!
