Kapamba Bush Camp
South Luangwa National Park

Accommodation
One of the southernmost bush camps, Kapamba Bush Camp is often combined with one of the other Bushcamp Company camps, such as Kuyenda, Chamilandu, Chindeni, Zungulila or Bilimungwe.

Built of red brick, the four houses at Kapamba Bush Camp have relatively modern interiors and come with a large whirlpool bath and two showerheads. The rooms are without windows to the front and completely open on the side facing the river, guests are protected at night by a large, strong iron trellis bearing a spider's web motive. The main building comprises a dining room, lounge/bar and a large deck overlooking the river.

Location
Kapamba Bush Camp is situated on the Kapamba River, a tributary of the Luangwa River, in the southern part of South Luangwa National Park. Transfer time from Mfuwe Lodge during the dry season is approximately 3 hrs 30 mins.

Accessed in 30 minutes from Mfuwe Airport, Mfuwe Lodge (main lodge, 24 rooms, mid-range accommodation) and various smaller, more rewarding bush camps located further south all belong to the Bushcamp Company.

Vehicle transfer usually includes a stop at Mfuwe Lodge, the Bushcamp Company's beating heart, where guests can recharge before continuing on to one of the smaller bush camps.

Wildlife
The southern part of South Luangwa Park is covered with mopane forests; game drives are focussed around the riverbed as its open plains are home to a denser concentration of wildlife. Elephant, buffalo, hyena, lion and leopard are often sighted; wild dog less often. The rivers and lagoons also support numerous crocodile, hippo and a large variety of birdlife.

Thornicroft's giraffe, Cookson's wildebeest and Crawshay's zebra are unique to South Luangwa National Park.

Activities
Activities are identical at all Bushcamp Company's camps and comprise game drives in open 4x4 vehicles and bushwalks with armed rangers. During the hot months, the walks are usually carried out in the mornings when temperatures are cooler. Walks can begin at camp or guests can be driven to a suitable starting point.

Good to know
Most camps have a pizza oven...
