Anabezi Luxury Tented Camp - Fact Sheet Introduction Anabezi is a 24 bed camp located on the banks of the Zambezi River at the Lower end of the Lower Zambezi National Park (LZNP) in Zambia. The name Anabezi is derived from the camp being situated on the Zambezi River and the many Ana Trees or Winter Thorns (Faidherbia albida) that surround the camp. These winter thorns drop corn yellow pods which attract a wide variety of animals to the area including many elephants, a welcome sight in the camp. Anabezi Camp comprises of 12 luxury spacious tents on raised timber platforms at the edge of a ridge providing magnificent views of both the Zambezi River and Mushika River flood plain. The plain hosts year-round grazing and offers spectacular diverse game viewing from the comfort of your tent! Anabezi consists of two common areas, the Zambezi Deck and the Mushika Deck, giving large families or groups the opportunity to occupy either of the decks exclusively and will be privately staffed should the guests request exclusivity. All luxury tents are equal in size and decor. Both the Zambezi and the Mushika Decks boast a pool, viewing deck, bar and dining area.
Accommodation Accommodation consists of large luxurious tents, approximately 1000 sq ft in size, positioned on a raised wooden deck.
