False ACCOMMODATION msafiri 86 Kapani Lodge WHERE South Luangwa National Park WHY Founded in 1986 by Norman Carr, who pioneered Zambia’s walking safaris, Kapani is now the main base for Norman Carr Safaris. It’s a reassuringly solid lodge standing beside an old ox- bow lagoon, near the heart of South Luangwa National Park. The ten large, brick- built rooms, each with electric fans, en suite bathrooms and even mini- bar fridges are open all year, with experienced guides leading guests to four temporary, satellite bushcamps – Luwi, Nsolo, Mchenja and Kakuli – deeper in the national park. CONTACT www. normancarrsafaris. com Chikoko Trails Camps WHERE South Luangwa National Park WHY Chikoko Tree Camp and Crocodile River Camp are the satellite bushcamps of Takifa, Remote Africa Safaris’ Luangwa base. Linked as part of an unsurpassed walking safari, experts guide you though wilderness areas entirely free from roads. Accommodation is in reed and thatch rondavals or treehouses with comfortable beds, colourful kanga linen and steaming bucket showers. Evening sundowners in these rustic retreats are a real tonic, with boma haute cuisine dinners a miracle of hole- in- the- ground cooking! CONTACT www. remoteafrica. com Shiwa Ng’andu WHERE Northern Zambia WHY Shiwa Ng’andu is like nowhere else in Africa. The fascinating history of its colonial founder, Sir Stewart Gore- Browne, and his dream of a grand estate spans the last century, and was retold in the best- selling book, The Africa House. Sadly the estate degenerated until it was bought by Sir Stewart’s grandson and his wife, Charlie and Jo Harvey. You can stay in the now restored and thriving manor house. Looking into its archives is fascinating, but the real story is the present: how the Harveys have built up the estate and made it so successful for all of its inhabitants. CONTACT www. shiwangandu. com Sausage Tree Camp WHERE Lower Zambezi National Park WHY For many, Sausage Tree is the epitome of romantic bush retreats. With spacious circular bedrooms under circus- like white canvas peaks, tasteful teak interiors and river- view decks peeking through mature mahogany trees, it marries luxury with location. Personal butlers deliver sundowners, delicious dinners à deux are a treat and starlit showers a post- safari must. Activities are on land and water.
