Few camps rival the location of this little gem, overlooking the crystal waters of Zibadianja, a lagoon that is the water source for a tremendous population of wildlife – dry season sightings boast buffalo and elephant by the hundreds. Each tent includes one pair of Swarovski HD binoculars and a professional Canon camera body and lens kit for complimentary use.
Days 6 to 8
Take a short scenic flight across the border to Zambia, again onto the edge of the Zambezi River, to the beautiful Royal Chundu where you’ll stay for 2 nights on a Fully Inclusive basis.

Their exclusive River Lodge suites, disguised among the riverine vegetation, radiate seclusion and tranquility.
