About Olimba Camp

Small camp in South Luangwa's Nsefu Sector, with a pool and two hides nearby

Olimba Camp sits on the northern boundary of the Nsefu Sector in South Luangwa National Park, Zambia, with chalets of screed and thatch, a splash pool and a small library. The Kawere hide and a seasonal one for carmine bee-eaters are within reach, and a lagoon hide can be reached by vehicle. Drives run in open vehicles carrying no more than four of you, with a tea stop in the morning and sundowners in the afternoon. It's open from 1 May to 10 November, and children need to be at least eight.
