Overlooking the northern banks of the Zambezi River and the valley, Baines River Camp is perfectly positioned to see the African sunset. Zambia's luscious shores invite travellers to experience river safaris and game drives. It's truly the best of both worlds when it comes to safaris!

About Baines River Camp

Game drives in Zambia and at Baines River Camp are excellent. You can see large herds of buffalo and zebra in the open game vehicle as well as predators with an experienced guide. The river cruises allow you to see wildlife from a small boat which makes for a relaxing game viewing experience and is great for photographers. There’s loads of baboons, hippo, elephant, crocodiles and water buck to be seen.

Baines River Camp Accommodation

Guests at Baines River Camp can choose from three room types: 2 Junior Suite, 6 Explorer Suite and the Baines’ Cottage. The most affordable room type is the Junior Suites, which are smaller and ideal for a single traveller or a couple. Slightly more spacious, the Explorer Suites are elegant and have a river-facing veranda. If you’re travelling with your family, or in a multi-generational group, then we recommend the sole-use Baines’ Cottage that’s perfect for a young family or up to 3 adults. The cottage has two bedrooms, a river-facing veranda, open plan lounge and dining room as well as a kitchenette.
