A stunningly beautiful tented camp in the South Luangwa, Chindeni Bush Camp has an enviable location on the edge of a lagoon where hippos and elephants wallow. Sleeping under canvas ignites a sense of adventure, and at Chindeni you can combine that thrill with style and comfort in one of its four opulent tents.
The camp’s elegant tents feature stripped wooden floors, vaulted canvas ceilings, four-poster beds, and spacious sitting areas. Each has a large en suite bathroom and a private deck jutting over the lagoon, offering front-row views of wildlife without leaving your room. Outdoor bathtubs invite you to soak under the stars. A dedicated family tent includes two separate bedrooms, plus a private guide and safari vehicle for a more personalised experience.
At the camp’s centre, a polished deck winds around ancient ebony trees, forming a relaxed lounge and dining space - perfect for unwinding with a gin and tonic while watching life unfold on the lagoon.
