In a remote corner of the South Luangwa National Park, this one-of-a-kind camp combines the isolation and superb game-viewing opportunities of a true bushcamp with a touch of luxury.

Set on the banks of the shallow, spring-fed eponymous river, Kapamba is surrounded by some of the park’s richest wildlife. Watching an elephant take a dip in the river can be quite an experience when you’re lounging in your own private plunge pool. The central bar and dining room is positioned under a huddle of matumi and sausage trees, with a wide deck that stretches out with views of the Kapamba River. And if that’s still not close enough for you, why not enjoy a drink from the middle of the river itself, your feet dipped in the cool, crystal shallows.

Experience & Activities

Get out into the bush and explore the rich diversity of the surrounding area on guided morning and afternoon walks. On special occasions the guides 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.

Get out into the bush and explore the rich diversity of the surrounding area by jumping into a Land Rover for a driving safari (day or night).
