Minor Hotels, a globally recognized hotel group, has joined forces with Agro Safari to unveil a new visionary safari experience in Zambia. Set to open in early 2025, the Anantara Kafue River Tented Camp, poised on the banks of the Kafue River, is poised to redefine luxury safari experiences.

An Elevated Escape in the Wild

Perched 3.5 metres above the ground, the Anantara Kafue River Tented Camp offers an unparalleled view of Zambia's wilderness. With just 12 spacious tents, including a grand 600-square metre Presidential Villa, the camp promises an intimate retreat that embodies luxury in the wild. The surrounding islands will feature a spa, wellness area, swimming pool, restaurant, bar, lounge, and a traditional African boma, creating a haven for guests.

A Partnership Shaping the Future of Safari

Owned by Agro Safari, a division of a renowned Zambian company, this project marks a significant collaboration with Minor Hotels. The partnership merges Agro Safari’s extensive land holdings with Minor Hotels’ hospitality expertise, reminiscent of the prestigious Royal Livingstone Victoria Falls Zambia Hotel by Anantara.

Immersive Experiences Amidst Majestic Wildlife

The camp, situated in the heart of Kafue National Park, will offer guests luxury tents with private plunge pools and personal boat services. The experiences will be nature-centric, including canoeing, fishing, birdwatching, and boat safaris, promising an unforgettable encounter with Africa's majestic wildlife.

A Prime Location in Zambia's Largest Reserve

Located in the heart of Western Zambia, Kafue National Park is one of Africa's largest reserves, spanning 22,400 square kilometres. The camp, accessible via a three-hour drive from Victoria Falls or Lusaka, or a short helicopter ride, sits amidst diverse wildlife and birdlife in a largely unexplored territory.

Sustainable Luxury in Harmony with Nature

Anantara Kafue River Tented Camp is not just about luxury; it's about sustainability. The resort will incorporate eco-friendly practices, from solar energy to sustainable materials, maintaining a balance between development and environmental conservation.

Empowering Local Communities

More than just a luxury destination, the camp is a community-driven project. The Community Culture Infusion initiative commits to incorporating local elements into the camp's essence, supporting local businesses, and employing Zambian staff, thus empowering the community and celebrating local culture.

A Growing Presence in African Safari Hospitality

With this new venture, Minor Hotels strengthens its presence in Southern Africa, complementing its existing luxury properties like The Royal Livingstone Victoria Falls Hotel by Anantara in Zambia and resorts in Mozambique. Along with joint ownership of the Elewana Collection in East Africa, Minor Hotels continues to deliver exceptional safari experiences.
