Run by Shenton Safaris · May–Nov
About
Shenton Safaris' six-chalet flagship camp on the Luangwa River, open mid-May to early November. Guests use Derek Shenton's network of fixed photographic hides (Hippo Hide, Elephant Hide platform, seasonal Carmine Bee-eater and Wild Dog Lagoon hides) plus mobile hides, and the camp supplies bean bags, dust covers and charging. The hides have been used by National Geographic and BBC crews.
