McBrides' Camp "McBrides’ Camp in the north of Zambia's Kafue National Park is not the sort of place you visit on the spur of the moment. But if real character, true remoteness and a love of walking with lions are what you're after, it's hard to beat," Peter Frost, Getaway Magazine, March 2004. Run by Chris McBride, renowned for his lion research, the camp adjoins one of the last true wildernesses with no roads and virtually no signs of humans. Although specialising in walking safaris, a wide variety of activities are on offer at the McBrides’ Camp, including fantastic boat trips on a pontoon. The camp accommodates 10 guests full board in thatched twin chalets with en-suite bathrooms.
