Nanzhila Plains Camp

Nanzhila Plains Camp

Kafue National Park

An intimate owner-managed camp which is located in the southern section of Kafue National Park. It has a mix of safari tents and chalets, both en suite. You can get to the camp by road from either Livingstone or Lusaka and the journey takes around 3.5 hours.

Activities include game drives and walks, waterhole viewing and the all-important sundowners! All over the 5 tents and chalets have beautiful views and gauzed windows allow you to fall asleep to the sounds of the African bush. The tents and chalets sit along the tree line giving uninterrupted views and the chance to absorb the peace and tranquillity of the wild. 3 of the tents can sleep up to six people and all have their bathroom with solar-powered lights and hot water.

The game viewing experience is excellent with many visitors reporting sightings of 12 different antelope species on a 3-night stay. There are also elephants, lions, cheetahs and wild dogs. You might be fortunate to spot the elusive leopard. Hippos and buffalos are usually seen further north around Lake Itezhi-tehzhi. The camp welcomes families with children 12 years and over as this is the minimum age for walking safaris in Zambia.

Other Options

This distinctive lodge is nestled in the heart of Kenya's Aberdare National Park, which offers excellent wildlife viewing opportunities. Designed to resemble Noah's Ark, this iconic structure overlooks a floodlit waterhole, attracting a diverse array of animals. With multiple viewing decks, a photographic hide and open lounges, guests enjoy front-row seats to nature's spectacle; from towering elephants to elusive leopards, the Ark provides an intimate connection with Kenya's wildlife. As darkness falls, the waterhole becomes a magical stage, illuminated by spotlights, where creatures come to quench their thirst. A night guard ensures guests don't miss any of the action, adding to the thrill of this extraordinary safari experience. The simple rooms are like cabins but are very comfortable and with private bathrooms.

How our Tent Ratings work

​

These are based on our personal experience of the hotel, camp or lodge and should not be compared against ratings you find elsewhere. We intend to guide you and don’t be put off by a low tent rating as some of our favourites fall into the 2 and 3-tent categories.​

​

It is also important to bear in mind that standards vary from country to country and a 4-tent hotel in South Africa cannot be compared with a 4-tent hotel in another part of the world. 

To summarise our grading system, we have considered the following.
