Botswana: Camp Kuzuma fact sheet & photos | Кемп Кузума Ботсвана

The Most Unique Elephant Experience in Africa…

OVERVIEW 

Reminiscent of the 1800 era, Camp Kuzuma is a private and exclusive safari lodge situated in the pristine Kazuma Forest reserve in the Chobe region of Botswana. Located 75km from Kasane, the camp offers a unique Botswana Safari experience. Overlooking a regularly frequented waterhole and open plains of the Kazuma Pans, the lodge is situated in the busiest elephant corridor that joins two of the world’s greatest parks: The Chobe National Park in Botswana and the Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe. With over 4000 square kilometres of private traversing concession, Camp Kuzuma offers an incredible and unforgettable African wilderness experience. Guests can enjoy spacious accommodation, delectable food, rejuvenating wellness treatments and exhilarating explorations on land or water.

The natural plant life at Camp Kuzuma is carefully preserved by elevated wooden walkways that connect the 5 Luxury Tented Suites to the main guest areas. The main lodge area, built under a large canvas tent, is home to an open plan bar, lounge and dining area. The main area extends onto a large wooden deck with a sparkling swimming pool that overlooks a floodlit waterhole that is frequently visited by an abundance of wildlife including elephant and lion.

The nearby sunken boma just off the deck welcomes guests and offers an opportunity to find solace and comfort whilst reading a book in the cool afternoon breeze, or whilst enjoying a unique dining experience under the African stars. Evenings are rounded off with a night cap around the open fire where guests share their sightings and recap their stories of the day.

The abundance of wildlife roaming the private forestry area of the Kazuma Plains is a sight to behold. Herds reaching the thousands roam the open plains: wildebeest, elephant, buffalo, roan antelope, sable, giraffe, lion and leopard are commonly seen in the area.

Whilst staying at Camp Kuzuma, take the opportunity to experience our well-appointed bush spa which offers a variety of treatments. Use the camp as a base to explore the surrounding areas such as the famous Chobe National

Park, embark on a cruise on the Chobe River or visit the natural wonder of the Victoria Falls.

Our aim at Camp Kuzuma is to minimize our carbon footprint. Our power is generated through batteries, hot water is supplied by solar geysers and the entire camp is connected by wooden walkways raised over a metre above the ground.
