Bush Camps

Bush camps are simple, seasonal camps which are ingeniously designed. They are in stunning remote locations, worth visiting simply for the lifetime experience they offer. It is often possible to walk or go for night drives from bush camps. They do not pretend to be ultra-luxurious, although they cater to most peoples' needs.
Bush camps are mainly found in Zambia.

Bush camps are usually re-built at the beginning of each dry season using local materials (reeds, grasses, poles and thatch). The rooms are often adorned with local artifacts. Most have en suite flush loos and overhead showers, although some have more simple arrangements. They usually only have three or four rooms, so are often booked exclusively. Some more rustic satellite bush camps are simpler and smaller. The dining areas frequently comprise both a thatched roof section and another more open area, perhaps under the shade of a huge Tamarind tree. Dinners are often enjoyed under the stars, candlelit, and accompanied by the evening calls of the wilds.

Since one of the greatest things about an African safari is the sensation of being in wild remote places, these simpler camps often become the most memorable part of the adventure.
