AFTER THE EBONY TREE

Romantically named after the ebony tree, Mchenja and its five idyllic, grass-walled rooms lie at the heart of the South Luangwa National Park.

Nestled under a towering ebony grove, Mchenja enjoys an enviable setting on a peaceful stretch of the Luangwa River. Its five rooms are naturally elegant and inviting with their feather-topped beds, soft cushions and airy curtains.

point from which to watch elephants crossing the water, as well as large picture windows framing serene views. The camp can even arrange for you to enjoy an enchanting sleep out under the stars.

Cleverly built around a bent ebony trunk, the camp’s main lounge has a spacious treehouse feel and is the perfect spot to unwind to the soundtrack of birdsong and bellowing hippos. You’ll also find a swimming pool overlooking the river, as well as a campfire where you can share tales from your thrilling game drives and bush walks.

The game viewing in the area is exceptional, with wildlife often spotted wandering about camp. If you visit at the right time of year, this is one of the best properties in the South Luangwa for viewing the valley’s famous carmine bee-eaters.

“EXPERTLY TAILORED, EFFORTLESSLY ENJOYABLE”
We travelled to Indochina in January/February with an itinerary designed by ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉúTV – and it was spot on. Rob, our consultant, really understood what we were looking for and created a journey that suited us perfectly. The choice of hotels was excellent, and the pace was just right, with enough time built in to relax and recharge between the different experiences. The service throughout was professional, personal and thoughtful – exactly what you want from a travel specialist.

“IN SAFE HANDS, EVEN WHEN PLANS CHANGE”
Every detail of our Patagonia tour was expertly arranged – from transfers and flights to the choice of hotels. When our onward flight to the Falklands was delayed by two days, ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉúTV stepped in immediately and secured a hotel for us. It was an enormous relief, especially as we don’t speak Spanish and had no idea what to do next. That level of thoughtful, responsive service stayed with us – it turned a potential travel hiccup into a lasting positive memory.

“A TRIP OF A LIFETIME, PERFECTLY PLANNED”
Dear Claire, our trip was 100% amazing. We fell in love with Chile. I love how we were introduced to all of the different parts of the country. Our family was engaged in all of the fun from beginning to end. The lodges were just perfection. I wouldn’t have changed a thing. I really appreciate all you did to make our trip a trip of a lifetime.
