Activities are very focused on walking so if that’s not your thing, there may be other camps that are more suitable. Wild dogs have been known to den very close to the camp for those who want to see them.

About

Nsolo Camp comprises five charming suites, each elevated on wooden platforms to provide panoramic views of the surrounding wilderness. The camp’s design incorporates natural materials, blending seamlessly with the environment. With no Wi-Fi or mobile signal, guests are encouraged to disconnect and fully engage with the sights and sounds of the African bush. The camp operates seasonally from 20 May to 15 November, aligning with the dry season when wildlife congregates around water sources.  

Rooms

Each of the five suites at Nsolo Camp features a feather-top bed, open-air en-suite bathroom with an outdoor shower, and a private shaded deck overlooking a permanent lagoon frequented by wildlife. The rooms are designed to offer comfort while maintaining a close connection to nature, with reed walls, thatched roofs, and bamboo-latticed windows allowing for natural ventilation and unobstructed views.  

Dining

Dining at Nsolo Camp is a communal and immersive experience. Meals are served in an open-sided thatched-roof dining area, allowing guests to enjoy the surrounding views and wildlife sounds. The camp’s culinary team crafts dishes that blend Zambian flavours with international cuisine, using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Guests can also enjoy private dinners under the stars, creating memorable dining moments in the heart of the bush.    

Activity

Nsolo Camp offers a range of activities centred around exploring the South Luangwa’s diverse ecosystems. Guests can partake in guided walking safaris, game drives, and night drives to observe nocturnal wildlife. The camp also provides opportunities for sleep-outs under the stars, where guests can camp in the bush accompanied by a guide and scout, offering a deeper connection to the wilderness.
