Pioneer Camp

Only 15 kms (25 mins) from the Airport or shopping centres of Arcades and Manda Hill, Pioneer is the last Oasis stopover on the way to South Luangwa and Malawi. The ideal place to start when visiting Zambia. At the centre of the Pioneer Camp is the open thatched bar/restaurant or ‘Chitenge’. This is for residents only and is open from 0700 until 2300 every day.

Coffee and Tea are always available here but, along with drinks from the bar, can be brought to your chalet if requested. Hosted mainly by Alfred, this is the place to exchange tales of adventure with fellow travellers. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served here. Pioneer Camp is well known for the candle lit braai meals served in the evenings – in particular the tasty 500gm T-bones!
