Kapamba Bush Camp

This camp is new to our last South Luangwa visit. Reports are excellent. Andy Hogg, the owner, has got pretty imaginative taste, so this camp should be a hit.  — Mango's view

Kapamba is the Bushcamp Company's fifth and newest camp. Set on the banks of the shallow, spring-fed eponymous river, Kapamba is surrounded by some of the parks richest wildlife.

The well-positioned half-moon deck is the focal point of the camp and serves as both the dining and bar area. Overlooking the Kapamba River, the deck offers an ideal viewing point for the abundant wildlife that comes to drink at the river.

Each of the camps four chalets is individually designed to offer stunning views of the river, with the open-fronted style ensuring you can enjoy uninterrupted game viewing from the privacy of your own room. The en-suite bathrooms each have a double-sized sunken stone bath and spacious shower and are open-fronted, so why not unwind in a hot tub while watching the hippo in the river below? Solar paneled lighting, paraffin lanterns and hot and cold running water ensure you wont have to forgo any level of comfort despite being in a remote and unspoiled location.

Get out into the bush and explore the rich diversity of the surrounding area on guided morning and afternoon walks, or jump into a Land Rover for a driving safari (day or night). On special occasions we can also arrange an afternoon wading through the cool waters of the Kapamba where a scenic sundowner or special meal will be waiting for you.
