South Luangwa National Park, Zambia
Silver price level
Mango Opinion
Nsolo Bush Camp is one of the South Luangwa National Park's more remote, walking safari camps. The accommodations are quite luxurious. Activities like safari walks and night game drives are special highlights. Game viewing in this part of the park is amazing, especially June through September.
Nsolo Bush Camp is situated on a bend in the Luwi Sand River that runs through South Luangwa National Park. Accommodation consists of four chalets on raised wooden decks with high thatched roofs and verandas. As with most of our bush camps the bathrooms have no roofs and are set under the shade of the trees above.
Nsolo is one of the more historic camps in Zambia. It was sited by Norman Carr in 1987 and Shaddy, the Camp Manager and guide, has been studying the wildlife and conducting walking safaris from this camp for over 10 years.
The Luwi river system is renowned for its lion population. Various pride territories overlap in this area and the cats use the dry river bed as a thoroughfare and a means not only of locating their prey, who come to drink, but also of locating their rivals who must be warned away.
There are few African experiences more exciting than heading out on a walking safari early in the morning, having heard lions calling through the night, finding fresh tracks and following them up. With voices hushed and hearts beating your mind is suggesting there is a lion behind every bush. This is a true African safari experience.
