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.

Mwamba

South Luangwa National Park

Mwamba Bushcamp is a tiny camp beside the seasonal Mwamba River providing an opportunity for those of a more adventurous spirit to explore the Luangwa's heartland.

The Mwamba is a tributary of the Luangwa River and the camp enjoys shady views of perennial waterholes. There are three reed and thatch chalets under sausage trees, uniquely designed with large skylights allowing you to experience sleeping under the stars. They are simple but delightful with double or twin beds, reed mats on the floors and open-air en-suite bathrooms with flush toilets and hot showers.

Meals are eaten in the bush-style dining/bar area or "chitenge" which is set under the deep shade of huge ebony trees. A spectacular sunset viewing-point on top of a large termite mound and a glowing campfire under the stars completes the camp's friendly and personal atmosphere.

The focus at Mwamba is on walking safaris, with gentle morning and evening rambles led by professional guides, however game drives are also available at the camp.

The game around Mwamba is excellent; large herds of buffalo, eland and Cookson's wildebeeste are followed by the "Mwamba pride", which consists of six beautiful lionesses and two classically dark maned males. Good leopard sightings are also common due to the large numbers of impala and puku in the area. Elephants use the Mwamba's waterholes regularly and there is a large bull which frequents the camp.

You can find out more about Mwamba Bushcamp by visiting the Shenton Safaris website.
