fire pit.
In between, built under several large trees where monkeys and baboons scamper, is the
dining and bar area; just below is another small 'library' deck, best used for kicking back

Kiambi Safari $$
( 0977 186106; www.kiambi.co.za ; campsite per person ZMW52, chalet per person in-
cl full board from ZMW420; ) This well-run operation at the confluence of the
Zambezi and Kafue Rivers has a smattering of different, relatively affordable accommod-
ation options. Wood-floored tented chalets are comfy with attached outdoor bathrooms
and small private porch areas. The spacious air-con chalets are good if the humidity is get-
ting a bit much though the TV and concrete might strike a dissonant note. Well-equipped,
self-catering cottages can sleep six and are a great choice for families. Campers maybe get
the best deal of all with their own fire pit, swimming pool, a separate bar (with pool table
and TV) and upstairs viewing platform. And don't worry if you've forgotten a tent; they'll
provide one with bedding for an extra ZMW42.
If you're not on an all-inclusive deal, note that meals are set choice (ZMW115 for din-
ner). Canoeing, fishing, wildlife viewing cruises and fishing are on offer as well as three-
night canoe safaris (ZMW820 per person per day including all meals, tent and bedding).
Pick-up by boat from Chirundu is ZK580 per boat return. This place is one of the few in
the area to stay open all year (inquire about discounts from December to March).
