South Luangwa National Park
Kapamba Bushcamp
A remote and romantic camp
Set on the banks of the shallow Kapamba River, Kapamba Bushcamp is surrounded by some of the South Luangwa National Park’s richest wildlife.
The camp has just four chalets – two twins and two doubles with queen and king sized beds respectively – which open out large private verandas with fabulous views. Each has are also twin showers and sunken plunge pool sized bathtub and wrought iron shutters that let in the sights and sounds of the bush while keeping out unwanted visitors during the night.
There’s a central bar and dining room under a huddle of matumi and sausage trees, with a wide deck from which to watch the world go by and elephants drink in the river. And if that’s still not close enough for you, why not enjoy a G&T from the middle of the river itself, feet dipped in the cool, crystal shallows.
Get out into the bush and explore the rich diversity of the surrounding area by jumping into a Land Rover for a game drives day and night, or head out on foot for an intimate walking safari.

Places to combine Kapamba Bushcamp with
South Luangwa National Park
Set around two lagoons and shaded by a canopy of ebony and mahogany trees is where you’ll find South Luangwa National Park‘s award-winning Mfuwe Lodge.The open plan reception, lounge, dining, and bar areas of the lodge overlook the two lagoons, with the wallowing hippo and thirsty wildlife sure to keep you entertained.
There are 18 accommodations available, including two suites and three family rooms, styled as thatched air-conditioned chalets. Inside, each chalet has a comfortable sitting room, with the suites featuring an additional seating area upstairs, and the family rooms supplying ample space for two children.
This region of the park is renowned for its prolific game, and giraffe, buffalo, antelope, and crocodile also being regular visitors to Mfuwe Lodge’s lagoon. Walking safaris can be arranged on request, but the majority of outings are game drives. Each year at Mfuwe Lodge, whole families of elephants visit between late October and mid-December to indulge on the fallen fruits from the large mango tree in the lodge grounds, a sight that is wonderful to behold.
Activities also include spending some time with the local Mfuwe community and discovering the true meaning of relaxation at Mfuwe Lodge’s Bush Spa. As the sun sinks below the horizon, there is nothing better than finding a spectacular spot in the heart of the bush for a refreshing drink.
