Mwamba Bush Camp is located in a remote area of the South Luangwa National Park which is extremely rich in wildlife.  

Mwamba blends in with the surrounding African bush and features three authentic reed and thatch huts.  Each hut comes with huge skylights and an open air en-suite bathroom. The dining area and bar are alfresco, tucked beneath towering ebony trees.  Wonderfully remote and peaceful, the site is a relaxed three hour bushwalk or 20 minute drive from Kaingo, its sister camp on the Luangwa River.

Guest staying at Mwamba have access to an unparalleled network of photographic hides. These offer fantastic opportunities for close-up encounters with the abundant wildlife.
