All you need to know

Intro

The four tented camp, perched on the edge of a high bank above a channel of the Zambezi, is the perfect intimate experience of the wild. Whether you take the whole camp for a big group, or just one tent, you can relax in private, intimate luxury, watching the river go by. Connected by a raised walkway, the tents are spacious and beautifully designed, with an indoor bathroom and private sitting room as well as a covered balcony overlooking the river. Two rooms are arranged to function as a connected family tent, making it perfect for small groups and families wanting to share this most exclusive and authentic safari adventure. With a plethora of activities including game drives, walks, birding, canoeing, boat cruises and fishing, led by a team of exemplary guides and staff, Amanzi has it all in unique privacy and luxury.

The main area offers a lounge, bar area and a swimming pool with stunning views of the mosaic of islands that are home to a group of majestic elephant bulls. 

Highlights

Amanzi is a new rustic yet luxurious new tented camp, designed to blend in with the African surroundings.
Located approximately 2 km’s downstream from Anabezi, the 4 tent camp is intimately set on a ridge above the banks of the Ngwenya channel, on the Zambezi River. 

Need To Know

Amanzi is Anabezi’s sister camp open for those travellers who prefer a more rustic, private setting.

Safaris

The lodge has been well equipped, boasting new vehicles which have been fitted specifically to accommodate 4 guests comfortably. Our boat cruises on the scenic Zambezi River are a very relaxing way to view and learn about the animals that spend a lot of time by the water. The Zambezi River is also famous for the most spectacular fresh water fishing in the world. Tigerfish, a relative of the infamous piranha prove an exciting catch for any fisherman - either complete novice or piscine professional. These viscious predators can grow to 15kg/33lb and are certainly a prize to behold. The best time to catch Tigerfish is between September and November.

Wildlife

Wildlife viewing is unparalleled and the guides at all the lodges are well-trained by Conservation Lower Zambezi. Predators to be seen are lion, leopard, wild dog, and hyena. Antelopes include Waterbuck, Impala, Kudu, and Puku. In addition to larger game, smaller mammals include aardvark, honey badger, porcupine, and even occasionally pangolin! African buffalo and elephant are an ever-present fixture of the landscape, crossing the river in larger herds.
