Jackal Berry Tree House
South Luangwa National Park, Zambia
The Jackal-Berry tree house is built around three live African Ebony trees (Diospyros mespiliformis) with unspoilt views out across a natural dambo and lagoon system favoured by elephant and giraffe.
The tree house has three main decks which are around six feet high with wooden decks and stairways to reach the spacious sitting area and open-plan bedrooms. Each bedroom has open air en-suite facilities with hot shower, flush toilet and sink. One bedroom has a Queen-sized bed with mosquito net, the other bedroom has either two single beds or these may be pushed together to make a King if there are two couples sharing the house.
The sitting deck has a sofa and two easy chairs for enjoying the view out over the dambo and watching the game which wanders past the house, oblivious to your presence. There is also a dining table and chairs should you prefer to dine alone at the house or for writing postcards or playing cards. A fridge and honesty bar are provided in the house a
