Rediscover the romance of safari’s earliest days with our exclusive Sleepout Under the Stars. Tucked into some of the most secluded corners of the South Luangwa and Lower Zambezi, this experience invites you to trade four walls for open skies, flickering firelight, and the quiet pulse of the wild.
In South Luangwa, your night is set within a dry riverbed deep in the National Park. In the Lower Zambezi, camp is perched high on the escarpment, offering sweeping views across the valley below. Both locations are chosen for their remote beauty, each providing a private camp with custom-built tents, cosy bedrolls, warm water, and a small, attentive team to look after every detail.
Evening unfolds with a gentle ritual: a waiter offers you sunset drinks by the fire, stories are shared with your guide, and a three-course meal is prepared by a chef under the stars. As darkness deepens, you drift off beneath the vast African sky, serenaded by the distant calls and the hush of the wild. Wake to the rising sun and the inviting aroma of freshly brewed coffee and a full breakfast cooked on the fire.
In this delicate balance of adventure and ease, Africa’s grandeur becomes personal and intimate.
