Star of Africa run 2 camps in
the Southern Zambia region - Lechwe Plains
Tented Camp in Lochinvar National Park
and Kulefu Tented Camp in the
Lower Zambezi National Park.
Lechwe Plains Tented Camp
The exotic and beautiful Lechwe
Plains Tented Camp is an African fantasy
under canvas. The tented lodge, built onto teak
decking, shelters under a mature grove of acacia
trees on the edge of the wide Chunga Lagoon. Just
six double units cater for a maximum of 12 guests
at any one time, making this a tranquil hideaway
far from the main safari circuits.
The close-up experience of living
in the same environment as the wildlife offers
a new perspective to the visitor. Peace and beauty
together with ever-changing waterscapes will offer
opportunities for special interest groups and
individual visitors alike. Guests will have the
undivided attention of the hosts and staff, including
a competent ornithologist and guide.
Lechwe Plains’ location
midway between Livingstone and Lusaka makes it
a highly original proposition for the corporate
market as well as the international visitor, and
perfect as an incentive group destination.

All year round bird watcher’s
paradise with over 400 species recorded.

Kulefu Tented Camp
Deep in the game-rich Lower Zambezi
National Park, there is a secluded, intimate safari
camp settled comfortably in the deep shade of
tall riverine trees. Profoundly peaceful, eco-friendly
and well-appointed, the camp overlooks one of
the permanent channels of the legendary Zambezi
River.
Here, at Kalefu tented
camp, after a thousand-mile journey,
the sunlit river spreads out to form broad white
sandbanks inhabited by crocodile, hippopotamus,
and sacred ibis. Ancient oxbow lakes today provide
a bountiful ecosystem for other resident wildlife.
Discover Kulefu’s magnificent
wildlife by boat, canoe, safari vehicle or on
foot - and from the veranda of your own comfortable
tent.
