About Chindeni

  • Close Panel 

Chindeni Camp is situated by a permanent oxbow lagoon, in sight of the magnificent Nchendeni Hills in the Luangwa Valley. The camp enjoys a secluded position and offers a quite and relaxing stay.

Raised on wooden decking Chindeni's four en-suite tented chalets are sheltered by a shady ebony grove. Each chalet has its own private veranda equipped with hammocks, from which guests can enjoy views of the resident game and lagoon. Each tent has 2 queen-size beds, hot and cold running water, shower and toilet.

The bar and dining area are also surrounded by ebony trrees. An adjacent walkway provides access to a lagoon-side retreat. From here, guests can enjoy an open-air dining experience, or the spectacular sunset as it reflects from the still waters of the lagoon. The seclusion of your stay and the abundant wildlife combine to make a stay at this camp an experience not to be missed.

On the walking safaris the guides will introduce you to the delights of the big five and also to the more complex and fascinating details of wildlife activity and habitat 'on the ground'. They will also provide insight into how to track spoor, to listen for warning sounds of predators approaching and to know and distinguish medicinal plants. Day and night game drives are also offered from the camp.

Pricing guidelines for Zambia

  • Open Panel 

We hope the following will give you a rough idea of costs. These are quoted per person based on twin share for two people, without international flights but including internal flights. We’ve used good standard accommodation throughout. There are nearly always ways to spend more money than we’ve suggested (!), but these prices show a good and realistic range for each type of trip.

International flights will add from about £600 to £800 depending on the season and route (unless airlines have special offers). Zambia combines well with Malawi and Botswana.

For each accommodation on this website you will find an indication of the price. The bands are based on the price per person per night at peak season and are represented by the following values for this country:
£

  £50 to £150

Tribes Advisor

The camp was being refurbished when I visited, just opening up for another season, so I've not experienced it with guests on board!  The location is just beautiful and I'm told that with the new rooms, they are bigger than most people's houses and the ultimate in somewhere to relax and watch the wildlife go by.  A lovely small, friendly camp in a remote part of the park where you should really spend several days.
