Nkonzi Bush Camp is small and evocative, with a vintage bush camp atmosphere. The camp has just four tents, with a maximum of eight guests at any one time.
The canvas safari tents are simple, but with all the comforts you need. Wooden framed beds, white cotton bed linens, fluffy towels and a small seating area are all provided. Each tent also has an en-suite bathroom with flush toilet, basin and hot water bucket shower.
A grove of soaring African Mahogany trees shades the main seating and dining area. Here you’ll find a charming bush lounge where you can while away a few hours exchanging stories with Gavin and your fellow guests. The small bar serves a variety of drinks both alcoholic and non alcoholic. Closer to the riverbank is the camp fire, a hub of activity and socialising during the hush of early morning and chill of the African evening.
Delicious home cooked meals are prepared in the Nkonzi Camp bush kitchen and our chefs are proud to use locally sourced, fresh ingredients to create their popular menu. A typical day in camp begins with a light breakfast, followed by brunch after your first activity, then afternoon tea and finally a three course dinner with freshly baked bread. Dietary intolerances are happily catered for, as are special occasions.
Meals are eaten together at the long, convivial dining table. At night you can drink in the sight of the stunning Milky Way emblazoned across the night sky from horizon to horizon; stargazing while you’re eating dinner is an experience never to be forgotten.
Activities
Driving safaris:
Morning drives leave camp around 06h00. Tea and coffee is brought along for a mid-morning tea break and you will return to camp at around 10h00 for brunch and the restful midday hours.
Night drives leave camp at around 16h00 after afternoon tea. Cold drinks are enjoyed at sundown and a spotlight is used so that game viewing can continue at night. The drive ends at 20h00 at which time you return to camp for dinner.
Walking safaris:
Our walking safaris are always escorted by an armed wildlife scout.
Morning walks will either depart directly from camp at 06h00 or your guide will drive you a short way from camp before continuing on foot. Walks last anywhere between 2-4 hours according to guest preference. You will return to camp at around 10h00.
We also offer an afternoon walk which can be combined with a night drive. An afternoon walk will set out at 16h00 and can be continued until sunset.
All-day safari:
Your Luangwa Deluxe Safari includes one all-day drive. You will set off from camp at 06h00 and return to camp at 20h00. You will be sent with a delicious packed lunch along with drinks for mid-morning and mid-afternoon coffee breaks. During the heat of the day you will stop and relax for lunch – usually for around 2 hours, so be sure to pack a good book!
