With six simple tents, Zambezi Expeditions is a small and personal camp. The tents are quite compact compared to rooms at other camps in the park (a necessity considering that they are taken down, moved and stored at the end of each season), but they are tall enough to stand in, and have enough space to comfortably fit twin beds, and small canvas wardrobes. The en-suite bathrooms are accessed through canvas flaps at the back of the tent and include a flush toilet, and an outdoor bucket shower that is filled in the evening or on request. There is also a washbasin, for which hot water is provided in a Thermos flask in the morning and evening.

The tents are set either side of a simply but well-furnished open-sided mess tent with views of the river. Here you’ll find a dining table and small lounge area. The sides of this tent are open, allowing views of the river from a dining table and small lounge area. The overall feeling of the place is quite rustic, very much like a moveable campsite, but a well-stocked bar and a large fridge do afford some luxuries, such as bottles of ice-cold Zambezi lager.
