In a remote corner of the South Luangwa National Park lies Kapamba, a camp that 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.

The charm and romance of Kapamba is most obvious in its four spacious en-suite chalets. Cool, simple and utterly original, these entirely open-fronted rooms boast wide verandas with river views, twin showers and sunken stone plunge pools – the ultimate in bush indulgence.

Clever wrought-iron shutters are drawn each evening so that you can enjoy the sights and sounds of the African night without worrying about unwanted visitors wandering into your room whilst you sleep.

Two of the chalets have twin beds (queen-sized beds), while the other two have king-sized doubles.

Overlooking the Kapamba River, the deck offers an ideal viewing point for the abundant wildlife that comes to drink at the river. The well-positioned deck is the focal point of the camp and serves as both the dining and bar area.

The camp is situated in a prime location on the picturesque Kapamba River, offering guests the chance to enjoy this untouched corner of the National Park. The luxurious surroundings are about six kilometres up the Kapamba River. From here it's a short walk to the neighbouring camp of Bilimungwe. Walking safaris from the Kapamba are exceptional with numerous trails following the course of the river.

On special occasions, the camp 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.

Kapamba is the only bushcamp in the park to stay open from April until January and is operated by The Bushcamp Company
