Mwamba Camp

Regarded as one of the world's greatest wildlife sanctuaries, the concentration of game around the Luangwa River and its many oxbow lagoons is among the most intense in Africa.

Mwamba Bush Camp is located deep within the remote North of the park in an area renowned for its varied, beautiful landscapes and exceptional game viewing. Home to several lion prides and no less than 10 resident leopards, this is truly one of the best places in Africa to see these animals in a completely natural environment. The light footprint from the human species, really sets this area aside from others. With only two other camps in the wider vicinity and a short, 6-month season, the area remains a pristine and genuine wilderness, benefiting both the wildlife and visitors. 

This intimate camp features just 4 tranquil rooms, authentically recreated each year using woven reed, thatch and other natural materials. Perched overlooking the dry, meandering Mwamba riverbed, each chalet has a shaded veranda from which to enjoy the abundant birdlife and feeling of total serenity. The ensuite, outdoor bathrooms elevate the bush experience further with double basins complemented by stunning copper tapware, beautiful live-edge mirrors, and showers tucked into the trees for a gorgeous back-to-nature feel.

Delicious meals and stories of the day’s encounters are shared around the glowing campfire with our central bar and dining area snugly located under the shade of twisted ebony trees.

When not out exploring the bush, guests can enjoy the camps famous ‘Last waterhole hide’. A short walk from the camp, this productive hide is truly a wildlife enthusiasts dream spot.

The camp also has its own remotely located Star Bed, a sleepout experience you will cherish forever.
