Chula Island

Our View

Chula Island is a charming bush camp in the heart of the Lower Zambezi National Park, perfect for those who want to go back to basics without scrimping on safari experience. Here, wildlife encounters will blow your socks off, and back at camp a personalised experience that most hotels simply cannot compete with awaits.

Chula Island - The Facts

What makes Chula Island even more special is that it emulates a fly-camping experience, with your bed surrounded by a small canvas encasing, with the rest of the room protected by a mosquito net. At night, the milky way lights up the bush, and in the day, wildlife saunters past as if you’re part of this phenomenal ecosystem's furniture.

With just five tents and a maximum of 10 guests in camp at any one time, Chula offers a home away from home atmosphere, and a communal safari experience, which can be tailored to your specific interests. Canoeing, boating, walking safaris and game drives all offer a refreshingly different perspective of the bush - something most parks in Africa can’t provide. You are also on the banks of one of the world’s best tiger fishing spots.

The tents themselves have open-air bathrooms with flushing loos and hot water on request to wash off the dusty adventures of the day. Food is homely and tasty, with hazy campfire mornings and special evenings under the stars standard procedure. With its wild, beautiful surroundings - home to some of Africa’s very best wildlife - this camp is a truly special place.
