This is a pristine island with the most basic amenities that allows total relaxation. I must admit I was a little disappointed when I stepped on the island and saw the rustic nature of the fishman's hut. The owner was great and told me he was sorry I was unhappy and I could leave the next day with a full... More

To say we wish we had stayed longer is an understatement. The two nights that my 14 year old son and I stayed were magical. Brett and all the guides and Sister Dee made this a very special relaxing place to be. This waste first time my 14 year old had ever been to Africa and he has told me... More

Bovu island along with Brett are an inseperable twosome. Time after time Bovu has provided us and friends with the perfect combination of relaxation, conversation and strange sense that the outside world is less in touch with reality than this most peculiar of islands. Go with a toothbrush, flashlight, a big sense of humour and towel and be prepared to... More

Whether you want to relax and enjoy the beautiful Zambezi river flowing by or have a good time with other tourists at the bar, this is a unique and great place. Access requires a short river crossing in a dugout canoe. The food, cooked by Alice and Sister Dee, is the best we had in Zambia. Host Brett makes your... More

You know you have been to a nice place when you want to meet up with the proprietors for a drink afterwards like you would with a friend. That's the feeling we left with after 4 lovely nights at jungle junction. Evelyn and Brett are stars, though I fear for their livers ;) Anyhow like the other guys say, it's... More

We stayed at Jungle Junction for 6 nights in a chalet and had an absolutely wonderful time. Everything about our stay was just perfect. We were picked up form our accommodation in Livingstone which includes a 20 min drive along a sandy track through the bush, expertly driven by the driver, Flex, who dropped us of on the banks of...

This is a great bush lodge place that is inexpensive, but loaded with character [and characters]! This is a no-shoes kind of place, with no-frills, but the people here are great fun. The dinners [simple food] are around a big table with all the guests. We stayed in low-season, which was good. I wonder what the party atmosphere might be... More

We only went to Jungle Junction because my partner wanted to catch a tiger fish and this completely made our holiday! From the moment we arrived we knew we wanted to extend our stay and after speaking the beautiful hosts Evelyn & Brett, decided to do a stint volunteering. From our initial plan to stay 3 days we ended up... More

http://www.junglejunction.info/ Wonderful, friendly people with as much or as little activity as you might want. Many choices in accommodations from camping to your own elevated wooden hut with porch overlooking the Zambezi River. Hot showers with monkeys above you in the trees, open air library, bar, restaurant. The owners work closely with the local tribesmen to help improve their lives... More
