Potato Bush Camp

The large open-plan lounges and dining area, or 'The Boma', cleverly combine traditional design with chic lines and varied textiles, creating a simple yet totally comfortable space to relax in during the day. One long wooden table hosts communal meals and the well-stocked bar is always open for service. In the mornings and evenings, make a beeline for the campfire, right on the bank of the river, for the most marvellous sunrises and sunsets.

Potato Bush is a what we call a real bush camp - intimate and cosy with only three double tents and one family tent. Doubles are spacious and light with beautiful moulded stone floors and a small partitioning wall separating the bathroom from the enormous king-size beds. All have ensuites with double showers, double basins and a bathtub. Each also has a lovely large deck with a plunge pool and cowhide hammock, for the ultimate in siesta luxury. Family tents are much the same but with two tents, connected by a shared lounge.

Explore the bush by foot, on a canoe, a motorboat, or on the back of a Jeep - day or night. This region of the Lower Zambezi is as diverse as it beautiful, and exploring it in different ways is all part of the fun. As for wildlife, expect an equally diverse range, from elephant, lion, leopard and buffalo to African wild dog, civet and porcupine. The guides are superb - well-trained, professional and engaging, and have an expert sense of how activities should fit together to create a well-rounded holiday.
