Olimba Camp is situated on the northern boundary of the Nsefu Sector. The camp has been named after the legendary leopard, Olimba, a beautiful feline that has been the star of many a guest safari and documentary including BBC's Kingdom. The site was previously used as an exclusive film camp for the BBC's ambitious nature documentary which was created over several years. Iconic resident animals captured in the documentary may be seen on game viewing activities from this camp.
Olimba is tucked beneath expansive ebony trees with a spectacular view of the Luangwa river and a wildlife rich lagoon just a few hundred metres to the east of camp. Four chalets built from a combination of canvas, screed and thatch (including king and twin configuration flexibility) can accommodate up to 8 guests. The chalets are extremely comfortable with running water, fans, solar power and ensuite facilities with an indoor and outdoor shower option open to the stars and views of the bush. (remoteAfsafaris)
