Two Rivers Zambia Safari

Luangwa River Camp
Managed by Robin Pope Safaris, one of Zambia’s oldest safari operators, Luangwa River Camp is a wonderfully romantic safari lodge with a fabulous setting in the Luangwa Valley. It offers just five luxury bush suites – permanent structures with thatched roofs and brick walls – set beneath a grove of ebony trees on the banks of the Luangwa River. Each features an en-suite bathroom with sunken bathtub and separate shower, lounge area, bedroom with large queen size bed, and a private patio overlooking the river.

With a plunge pool, spacious bar and lounge area, Luangwa River Camp combines the facilities one would expect from a comfortable safari lodge with the intimacy of a bush camp.

Breakfast is served daily around the campfire at dawn, the porridge heated on the fire and toast cooked on the coals. The morning walk or drive will leave soon after, entering the park by boat from the camp or by the nearby pontoon. The game in the area is rich and diverse, and includes many family herds of elephant and Thornicroft Giraffe, which is endemic to the region.

A mid-morning tea and coffee break with cake will be taken at a scenic point on a lagoon or the Luangwa River. You will typically return to camp for lunch around midday – lunch is followed by free time to relax around the pool or enjoy an afternoon siesta! Tea will be served in the afternoon before a late afternoon game drive that continues into the early night, giving you a chance to see nocturnal species. Usually you will return to camp about 8pm for supper and campfire drinks.

Potato Bush Camp
Potato Bush Camp sits nestled under a copse of mahogany, winter thorn and acacia trees, overlooking the Zambezi River and escarpment. It’s a tiny bush camp, comprised of just three well-appointed canvas & rosewood safari tents, in addition to a two-bedroom family unit.

At the heart of Potato Bush is an open-plan bar, lounge and dining area, which is connected to all four tents by way of raised timber boardwalks.

Potato Bush Camp offers a mix of game-viewing activities, including walking safaris, 4x4 game drives (day and night), canoeing on the Zambezi river. Fishing is also possible.

There are various activities to choose from, including day and night game drives, walking safaris, river boat safaris and a selection of canoeing trips.

River safaris are conducted on safe and stable boats. Guests can go angling (catch and release) for the infamous tiger fish.
