Chula Camp

Guests fly via light aircraft charter to Jeki airstrip, which takes approximately 45 minutes from Lusaka International Airport. From Jeki, a 15-minute game drive transfer completes the journey to camp. All transfers are included in full-board rates. Road access is possible but less commonly used due to distance and road conditions.

Chula Camp operates seasonally from May to October, during the dry season when wildlife congregates along the Zambezi River and water levels are optimal for boat-based activities. May through August offers peak viewing conditions with coolest temperatures and clearest skies. September and October provide shoulder-season alternatives with warming temperatures.

Chula Camp's rustic bush camp setting and emphasis on river-based activities (boat excursions, fishing) make it best suited for families with older children who can appreciate remote wilderness experiences. The camp's small size and intimate atmosphere work well for multi-generational groups seeking authentic safari experiences without resort-style children's facilities.

Lower Zambezi National Park hosts lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and numerous smaller mammals. The Zambezi River location provides exceptional viewing opportunities for elephant and buffalo, which congregate along water corridors. The park is also recognized as an important bird area with over 400 recorded species, particularly along riparian habitats.

All-inclusive rates cover three daily meals, beverages, and scheduled activities including guided boat excursions on the Zambezi River, tiger fishing expeditions, morning bush walks with professional guides, and game drives. All activities are led by high-calibre wildlife guides employed by Classic Zambia.

Chula Camp is a remote seasonal bush camp without Wi-Fi or cellular network coverage. The camp's isolation in Lower Zambezi's eastern region is intentional, designed to provide genuine wilderness disconnection. Guests should plan accordingly and inform family/work contacts of their limited connectivity during their stay.

Full-board rates at Chula Camp include all meals, local and imported alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, all scheduled daily activities (boat excursions, bush walks, game drives), laundry service, and inter-camp transfers. Park fees and premium activities may be additional; confirm specifics when booking.

Chula Camp is intentionally remote, located in Lower Zambezi's eastern region accessible only by charter flight or extended road transfer. Accommodation is rustic canvas tents with basic en-suite facilities—not a luxury resort. The camp prioritizes authentic wilderness experience over amenities, with generator backup power and no Wi-Fi. This setting suits travelers seeking genuine bush immersion over comfort-focused tourism.

Chula Camp operates seasonally from May through October (dry season only). The camp closes November through April during the rainy season when river levels rise, making boat activities hazardous and limiting access. Seasonal operation protects the ecosystem and concentrates wildlife viewing during optimal conditions.
