Chula Island Camp, Lower Zambezi National Park, Zambia
A Tented Camp in Zambia
Camp Details
Chula Island Camp is a stunning tented camp with all the luxuries one could wish for, but with the charm and ethos of a true seasonal bush-camp. With just 5 guest tents, catering for no more than 10 people in camp at once – each tent is carefully and expertly located for the best possible views across the Zambezi River. The Chula tents are bespoke and very comfortable, with high quality linen and mattresses, alongside flushing toilets, running water taps and traditional bucket-showers! A main area stretch-canvas tent set beneath massive Natal Mahogany trees makes for an exceptional location for meals, reading, charging cameras and wildlife watching.
WHY CHOOSE CHULA ISLAND CAMP?

• Boating is a stunning way to experience the mighty Zambezi River; this vast and dramatic waterbody never fails to impress
• A quintessentially Zambezian safari pursuit – the canoe!
• Walking is best in the morning when temperatures are cool and tracks and signs are fresh!
