Island Bush Camp

Island Bush Camp chalet

This small, personalised camp lies under a grove of Mahogany trees on the banks of the Luangwa River, Zambia. The Island Bush Camp offers rustic accommodation in grass/reed huts, with the modern comforts of hot showers and running water. Each chalet has a private verandah overlooking the Luangwa River.

The Island Bush Camp is 2 hours drive south of Kafunta River Lodge in a very remote game-rich area of the southern section of the South Luangwa National Park, Zambia. In this complete solitude far away from other operators we offer exclusive walking safaris.

Island Bush Camp is seasonal and is open from 20 May to 1 November.
