Kapamba Camp

Part of the Bush Camp Company camps, Kapamba is a luxurious bush camp set on the banks of the Kapamba River, which is a tributary of the Luangwa.  This is situated in the far south of the park in an area used almost exclusively by Bush Camp Company so very few tourists and other vehicles are encountered here.  The wildlife in the area is prolific and includes a frequently seen group of Wild Dogs, the 'Kapamba pack'.  Walking safaris are the main activity here and sundowner drinks are often taken sitting in the river cooling off as the day comes to an end.

The camp consists of four permanent thatch covered stone chalets with en-suite twin showers, toilet and double vanities.  Each room has huge bath with a view of the river.  There are two doubles and two twins and all are open to the widest side, giving private views to the water and having a trellis of metal doors which can close at night to make the guests feel more secure from the wildlife!  The dining area & bar has a deck overlooking the river, which flows year round.

Highlights

  • Remote and peaceful location in the far south of the park
  • Excellent walking trails and ideal to combine with other bush camps
  • Fantastic wildlife in the area, including wild dogs
  • Huge sunken baths in luxury rooms in the bush
  • Small camp with very personal service

Viewpoints

What can I say? Kapamba is paradise found! The staff were delightful, helpful and accommodating, really lovely people. We had a very close encounter one night with elephants at the end of the verandah and eating a meal IN the middle of a river a totally surreal experience!
