Remote bush camp
A very small luxury camp on the banks of the dry Luwi river. We loved the walk from Kakuli Camp to Nsolo, but it was very hot (40+) in early October. Spacious and comfortable cabins, friendly, enthusiastic and welcoming staff, good food (how do they provide fresh produce and cook it so well in such a remote place?) and good guides.
Wild life was less abundant than other sites as the place was so dry and tsetse flies were a nuisance. We would return, but earlier in the dry season when the location could be fabulous..
Nsolo Bushcamp
We walked to Nsolo from Luwi, which was a lovely way to arrive at this delightful bushcamp, passing herds of impala and puku on the way. We also had our first encounter with a buffalo! Pippa, our enthusiastic hostess, made our stay very enjoyable. The food and accommodation were excellent and being able to peek over the bathroom wall and be face to face with an elephant was a very novel experience.
The walks with Lawrence and Innocent were a wonderful opportunity to join zebra, elephant, wildebeest, warthogs and antelope in their environment. We were also lucky to see a serval and grysbok on our night drive.
Nsolo bush camp our second camp
We walked to Nsolo which took a very relaxing three hours and once again had a very warm welcome. Our room, which seem to be the norm, was excellent , bed very comfortable services good but let the water run a little so you can have hot water for your shower if you so wish, As with all the camps it's an early start but over the camp fire eating hot porridge or fried eggs with like minded people and your hosts it's a pleasure to always remember . The elephants were around camp during the night and decided to eat the walls of the kitchen and trampled on the water pipe so we had no water fro a few hours but who cared its the bush

Loved the accomodation on stilts and decking area. Service was fantastic.
The guide called us just before our siesta time to take us to see some lions which had just been seen in the area.
We were delighted to have private dining on our decking area and to share it with a group of elephants.
Walking and vehicle game drives were not as interesting as we had hoped.
To improve privacy screening from the bedroom to bathroom needs to be higher to block views to the camp fire area.
Elephants at Nsolo
Again room this year even better because of wonderful view of dry river bed - perfect for when the elephants came calling.
On our third night we slept out in the river bed and this was a truly amazing experience. We were very appreciative of the hard work that went into making this possible - a special thank you therefore to Pippa and the team at Nsolo.
Nsolo Bushcamp review
The legendary 'Shaddy' was the senior guide, great walking safari, so close to lions on foot, I guess this depends on the client, the wonderful knowledge of reading the situation and staying safe! Great job.
Fantastic elephant experiences in and around the camp, lions trying to take a wharthog, all while having a drink at the bar- magical.
Chalet's are comfortable, minor points for improvement have already been discussed with Christina.
Thank you to the bar staff/waiters/general staff covering for Jo(hostess)who was ill while I was there.
Nsolo Bushcamp review
Good Host and guide (Andrew). Walking safari focused mainly on the same animal poo that we had learned about at Luwi with a slightly different spin and again confirmed that all the animals ran away from humans. Our disappointment associated with this continued.
Andrew tried a bit too hard to find us a Leopard on both nights which resulted in us driving long distances on the two afternoon/evening drives. The night part of the drive was then done at too fast a speed to be comfortable for spotting and viewing.
A wonderful rustic experience.
This was our first expereince of staying in a bushcamp and we were not disappointed!
Our host was very welcoming and the guides extremely knowledgeable. The camp offered a comfortable stay and the food was excellent. A great start to our holiday which we could highly recommend!
