OXBOW LAGOON
The Chindeni Hills provide the magnificent backdrop to this beautiful tented camp, which you’ll find on the edge of an oxbow lagoon in the southern South Luangwa.
At Chindeni, the thrill of sleeping under canvas is combined with style, comfort and outstanding guiding. Its four tented chalets sleep just a handful of guests, and feel like secluded treehouses nestled beneath a group of large ebonies. You’ll be able to watch elephants and hippo bathe by sunset from your private veranda, and dine on superb food in the shaded dining area and adjoining lounge.
Whether you’re feeling intrepid or take a more leisurely approach to game viewing, Chindeni has activities to suit every type of safari-goer. The South Luangwa is famed for its diversity of wildlife, and you’ll experience this first-hand on superb walking safaris, morning game drives and night drives with the finest guides. Alternatively, get comfortable in a deckchair and watch as the resident wildlife come to drink from the lagoon in front of camp.

Jonny took the time to discuss all the options with us and tailored every detail to our wishes. He suggested thoughtful add-ons, arranged excellent guides, and created a brilliant itinerary packed with maps, tips, and all the information we needed for exploring the two countries we visited. An absolute trip of a lifetime to Argentina and Brazil.
The service we received from The Ultimate Travel Company was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.
