Kapamba Bushcamp, South Luangwa National Park, Zambia
A Tented Camp in Zambia
Camp Details
Surrounded by some of the park’s richest wildlife, the central living and dining area at Kapamba huddles under matumi and sausage trees, opening onto an extended deck with a swimming pool. Cool, contemporary, and utterly original, the open-fronted bedrooms boast wide verandas and twin showers with views of the river. At night, pull closed the wrought-iron shutters and enjoy the sights and sounds of the night without worrying about unwanted visitors… Two of the chalets also have raised sleep-out salas (with small bathrooms) – a wonderful experience to sleep out under the stars, or to relax during afternoon siesta.
Get out into the bush and explore the rich diversity of the surrounding area on a morning walking safari or game drive, and then later in the day, jump into a Land Rover for an afternoon/evening game drive. When the weather is right, spend siesta time in the Kapamba River right in front of camp, or take a dip in the pool to cool off. We offer both
WHY CHOOSE KAPAMBA?
• A remote and romantic camp situated in a prime location on the Kapamba River, and one of only two Bushcamps to be open from April to January.
• Combine the isolation and superb game-viewing opportunities of a true bushcamp with a touch of style.
• The walking safari was born in the South Luangwa, so it’s only fitting that many of your outings will be on foot with the very finest guides.
Questions about Kapamba
When is Kapamba open?
It is one of only two Bushcamps open from April to January, so it covers a much longer season than the others in the group. That makes it useful for green season travel as well as the peak dry months. Rates start from around US$731 per person per night.
Can we sleep out under the stars?
Two of the chalets have raised sleep-out salas with small bathrooms, good for a night outside or an afternoon siesta. The bedrooms themselves are open-fronted with wide verandas and twin showers looking over the river, and wrought-iron shutters pull closed at night so you hear the bush without unwanted visitors.
What happens during the heat of the day?
When conditions allow, guests sit in the shallow Kapamba River right in front of camp, or use the swimming pool on the deck. Mornings are given to a walking safari or game drive, with another drive in the afternoon or evening. The living area shelters under matumi and sausage trees.
