Thorntree River Lodge, Zambia

Thorntree River Lodge is set in Zambia’s Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park, just a short distance from the famous Victoria Falls. Thorntree River Lodge has been completely rebuilt with an environmentally-conscious design. Drawing inspiration from local customs and culture, it is a modern contemporary design with tented roof structures to maintain the feel of authentic Africa. 

The lodge boasts 12 twin rooms with 2 sets of interleading units. Each unit has its own indoor and outdoor bathrooms, as well as a luxurious private plunge pool. The main lodge consists of a lounge with an open dining area, where the fine dining experience of African cuisine will come to life. A gym and spa overlook the mighty Zambezi River, and there is a small library with WIFI for our guests’ convenience. The communal deck is set on the edge of the stunning riverside, and is home to a sunken boma area and an infinity pool. Wooden decking floats on the edge of the river, and moves with the water level to create the illusion of sailing a boat, and help to achieve a seamless feel between river and land.

Khwai Leadwood, Botswana

Set within the Okavango Delta’s community-run Khwai Concession, this beautiful camp is tucked under the trees on the edge of the Khwai River. This river is all that separates the iconic Moremi Game Reserve and the concession, with hippos, elephants and even lions crossing over from time to time.

The elegantly designed camp hosts six standard tents and one family unit, keeping in line with the intimate and exclusive wilderness experience. The new camp effortlessly bridges the gap between luxury accommodation and feeling like you’re in the great African outdoors. Woven baskets and beaded décor, along with modern elements, create an authentic contemporary African style.

Khwai’s biggest drawcard is undoubtedly the plentiful and extraordinary wildlife – you’ll never be bored here! Adventure and relaxation are on offer as guests live out their ultimate safari experience – from setting off on a morning walking safari to enjoying a gin and tonic overlooking the Khwai River.

Linyati Ebony, Botswana

Linyanti Ebony is one of African Bush Camps family-focused camps situated in a private wilderness concession in the Chobe Enclave. The Chobe Enclave is home to large herds of elephants – giving you the perfect opportunity to encounter these giants up close.  

Linyanti Ebony exudes a sense of charm and is built on raised wooden decks which overlooks the Linyanti Marshlands. Being in a remote area, the camp is designed to blend in with its natural surroundings with 4 traditional Meru-styled tents. The family tent consists of 2 interleading rooms, making the camp ideal for both families and groups seeking an authentic safari experience. The main area encompasses an expansive lounge and dining area, sparkling plunge pool, cosy fire circle and boma; the perfect place to strengthen family ties on your Chobe safari.

There are a variety of ways to explore the area, including morning and afternoon game drives and walking safaris, or nature walks for children under 16yrs. When water levels allow explore the Linyanti wetlands on a mokoro. And, if staying 3 nights or more, take to the skies and take in the beauty of the area and its wildlife with a complementary helicopter safari.
