The Conservancy comprises 180 000 ha of communal land. It lies within one of six key wildlife dispersal areas in the Kavango Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KAZA), namely the Chobe Zambezi dispersal area that extends from Chobe National Park in Botswana to Kafue National Park in Zambia.
Simalaha Camp areas are beautifully handcrafted each season by members of the Simalaha community – designed and inspired by traditional Lozi mud-style methods.
The bush bathrooms are handcrafted with the aid of the Simalaha community using sustainable local reeds.
The result is peaceful synchronicity of design, community and nature – all fused with breathtaking views over the Simalaha Plains.
The horse riding safari camp accommodates a maximum of 8 people in four tents. Each tent is raised above the ground with views over the endless grassy plains. Our tents all feature ensuite open-air bathrooms and seating on the front deck. Gail and her team have taken special care to provide good quality mattresses, linen and towels to ease those achy bodies after long hours in the saddle!
Zambian Horseback Safaris offers a 3-night safari or longer for intermediate riders and above. Riders need to be fit, confident & competent. However, they will accommodate riders of all abilities if a group books out the camp on an exclusive-use basis. Your hosts, Doug Evans, will guide you through the story of the Simalaha, the land, the people, its cultural history and its relevance to sustainable community and wildlife development.
