Reasons To
Visit Zambia

  • Big cats & safari wildlife

    Zambia is a safari destination for the connoisseur, boasting a fantastic range of wildlife in its diverse national parks. Many amazing game experiences can be had within the national parks, with lion virtually guaranteed and leopard in abundance. This superb array of game can be appreciated on foot, by car or on the water.

  • Birds

    Zambia offers the full range of fascinating, colourful birdlife you’d expect to see on safari, with a range of water based birds in the Lower Zambezi and Kafue National Parks. The Bangweulu Wetlands are one of the few places on the planet where you can see the impressive Shoebill Stork.

  • Boat trips

    An evening cruise on the Zambezi in Livingstone and game viewing from Kafue’s Lufupa River are wonderfully relaxing, but best of all are the water based activities in the Lower Zambezi. Drifting slowly down river, observing elephants coming into drink as the sun goes down is one of the definitive African experiences.

    Boat trips

  • Night drives

    With night drives offered in all of the major national parks, Zambia is arguably the best destination in Africa to observe nocturnal wildlife. The South Luangwa in particular is known for outstanding leopard sightings, and there is a tangible excitement to watching how wildlife behaves after dark.

  • Victoria Falls

    By any judgement Victoria Falls is an awesome force of nature. During the wet season up to 550 million litres of water cascades over the lip of the Falls each minute, offering an intensely photogenic experience. The spectacle that so bewitched David Livingstone is still equally impressive today.

  • Walking safari

    With superb guides and remote wilderness, the country that invented the walking safari is still the premier walking destination on the continent. There is nothing quite like approaching elephants or buffalo on foot knowing full well that you are a mere guest in their territory.

Mchenja Bushcamp

South Luangwa National Park

Mchenja (meaning "ebony tree" in the local language) lies hidden in a shady grove of age-old ebony trees on the bank of the Luangwa River.

It is one of the most picturesque sites for a camp in the Luangwa and the rooms are amongst the most luxurious you will find in any bushcamp.

Baboon play in the clearings, hippo grunt in the river below and kingfishers and bee-eaters swoop over the waters.

The camp has 5 comfortable, spacious tented rooms, each with polished wooden floors and a veranda at the front which overlooks the lawn and river beyond. You can take a shower under the stars in the good-sized ensuite bathrooms, which are also equipped with WC and basin. Alternatively, each room boasts a large bath, perfect for whiling away a couple of hours after lunch before your afternoon activity.

The main chitenje is under reed and thatch and has a plunge pool which can provide great relief during the hotter months. Activities from camp include walking safaris and game drives.
