Ingwe Pan

This particular rustic bush camp is found hiding a few kilometres inland from the great Zambezi River, closer to the Chiruwe River bed, on a vast pan called Ingwe Pan that is rimmed with huge old ebony trees. The camp lounge and dining area are cleverly designed to nestle right under the sprawling branches of a splendid fig and ancient ebony tree. A
