Explore Nsolo Camp: A Historic Gem In The Heart Of South Luangwa National Park

Named after the honeyguide bird, Time + Tide Nsolo Camp boasts some of the most remarkable and unique bird species in South Luangwa National Park. Its five delightful safari rooms are positioned on elevated wooden platforms along a curve in the seasonal Luwi River. Each room boasts a feather-top bed, an open-air en-suite bathroom, and a shady private deck that offers views of a permanent river lagoon bustling with wildlife.

Situated by an elephant path, the camp is always alive with activity. Watch warthogs and vervet monkeys while savouring a cold local beer from the bar. Experience life's simple joys by indulging in afternoon tea and cake in the inviting and spacious main lounge.

With a regular wild dog den nearby and lion prides using the dry riverbed as a thoroughfare, walking and driving safaris around the camp offer exceptional opportunities for viewing big game. Time + Tide Nsolo also serves as an excellent base for the signature activity, the Time + Tide Sleepout.
