Project Description
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 most game-rich, remote northern sector of the park in an area renowned for its varied, beautiful landscapes and exceptional game viewing.
The intimate Mwamba Bush Camp features just 4 rustic rooms, authentically recreated each year using woven reed, thatch and other natural materials. Perched overlooking the meandering Mwamba riverbed, each chalet has a shaded veranda from which to enjoy the abundant birdlife and feeling of total serenity. Gauzed skylights offer views of the stars enjoyed from the luxury of your deep, king size bed. Clean and silent solar power provides each room with lighting and cooling fans for the summer months. The ensuite, outdoor bathrooms elevate the bush experience further with carved stone basins and steaming hot showers allowing you to feel even more emersed in and connected with nature.
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.

Together, Barry and Derek established Kaingo Camp in 1992, with Derek going on to develop his vision of a “quintessential bush camp” in 2000 when Mwamba Bush Camp was born. Since then, Derek and his wife Jules, a zoologist and wildlife photographer, have channeled their passion and expertise to grow Shenton Safaris into the widely acclaimed offering we know today.
