Fig Tree Bush Camp - Mukambi — Hotel in Central Province

After 2 nights at Mukambi lodge, I went to Fig Tree Camp for 3 nights. WOW!!!|| ||If you want to feel the nature and be the closest as you can be this is the place! ||The rooms are excellent with a sight to the lagoon with a complete bathroom in the outside, a very comfortable bed with a hot water bag for the cold nights. The dining room has a common table for guests and always with the pleasant company of Joanne, the Manager. ||The day starts at 05.00 a.m. The staff wakes us up and take us safely to the main tent. Outside the tent there are 8 chairs around a fire pit to warm us during the cold mornings after having an excellent breakfast, served by a warm and polite staff. Around 6:30 a.m. we begin the first game drive. Always very good in the company of my guide who was by my side the whole week (thank you, Powell).|| ||Around 12:00 p.m. we return to a delicious lunch. Until 04:00 p.m. we may rest, enjoy the pool and the hammock which is in front of the lagoon. Then we begin another Game Drive that lasts until nighttime. We return to the camp around 08:00 p.m. and we have a staff member waiting for us with a warm cloth to clean our hands and face from the dust.|| ||Dinner is always delicious, very well cooked and well presented. Afterwards, we can drink coffee near the fire pit and enjoy the starry night sky with no light pollution and listen to the sounds of Africa.|| ||The nights were always very exciting with the sounds of the birds, the insects, the lions and hyenas.||Lying down in bed I could see the starry sky.|| ||It was a 3 dream day stay in a...

Fig Tree Camp is a well run camp, located next to a beautiful pond inside Kafue National Park. It is run by the same owners as the Mukambi Safari Lodge. The rooms are on raised platforms and have plush bedding, toiletries and essentials. Lunch is usually a simple affair. Dinner is typically a three course meal with starters or soup, a main dish and dessert. They take dietary preferences into account when making lunch and dinner. Elephants, hippos, warthogs, leopards, lions and many more animals are in and out of the camp which is located inside their home. ||Tip - Leopard and lion sightings are common in and around the camp and may be a boon or a bane depending on your point of view. Out of three nights during our stay, we had lions waking us up on two. One night they had a kill about 40 meters away from our room and all night we heard them snarling and feeding (it was loud enough we could not get a wink). ||||Tip - Go early to get the most from your activity. They do not cram you with too many people in the jeep on game drives. You may have a private drive or be with one or two other people at most.||||Tip - They have a wonderful infinity pool that overlooks a watering hole. During dry months, you could be in a pool overlooking any number of animals coming in to quench their thirst.||||Tip - The drinking water in the camp is perfect and probably better than bottled water. Do not get bottled water...
