 Thailand’s Minor Hotels has signed an agreement
with Agro Safari for an Anantara tented camp on the banks of the
Kafue River in the centre of Western Zambia.

Currently in the early stages of development, the
Anantara Kafue River Tented Camp will feature just 12 luxurious
tents, including a 600-sqm Presidential Villa.

Each luxury tent, strategically spaced for
privacy and to maximise immersion in the bush and surrounding
landscape, will feature its own plunge pool and use of a boat and
skipper.

The camp is bookended by two islands which will
accommodate a spa and wellness facilities with a swimming pool,
restaurant, bar, lounge and a traditional African boma.

Anantara Kafue River Tented Camp is expected to open in early 2025

When it opens in early 2025, the new camp will
immerse guests in the heart of a national park populated with
wildlife, enabling nature-centric experiences such as canoeing,
fishing, bird watching, boat safaris, and encounters with
wildlife.

Kafue National Park is located in the centre of Western Zambia and
is one of the largest reserves in all of Africa, covering 22,400 square kilometres.

The park is home to a
fantastic diversity of wildlife and birdlife and much of it
remains largely unexplored and untouched.

The new camp will be
located approximately a three-hour drive from Victoria Falls and the capital Lusaka,
and will also be accessible by helicopter.

“We are really
excited to announce this partnership with Agro Safari to develop
and launch an exclusive tented camp in Zambia under our luxury
Anantara flag,” said Dillip Rajakarier, CEO Minor Hotels. “This represents an unique opportunity to offer
unparalleled experiences to discerning travellers looking to
explore outside the more well known African parks and we look forward to working closely with our partners to bring this camp to
fruition.”

Anantara already has a strong presence
in Southern Africa with The Royal Livingstone Victoria Falls Hotel
by Anantara in Zambia and two small island resorts in Mozambique –
Anantara Bazaruto Island Resort and Anantara Medjumbe Island
Resort.

In addition the group has joint venture ownership of Elewana Collection, a portfolio of luxurious camps and lodges in
East Africa, including Elewana Elsa’s Kopje in Meru, Kenya and
Elewana Serengeti Pioneer Camp in Tanzania.
