Bilimungwe Bush Camp is situated in the heart of the South Luangwa National Park and has two defining features: the expansive open plain and the shady water hole which attracts some of the most varied game within the park.
Traditional yet quaint, Bilimungwe Bush Camp is the epitome of the traditional African safari camp. Bilimungwe sleeps a maximum of eight people. From the porch of the four thatched en-suite chalets guests can observe game interacting along the open plain, or for a different view they need just to travel a few feet to the communal deck where wildlife gathers to drink at the secluded watering hole. Bilimungwe is the perfect solution for guests seeking a unique experience in a traditional setting.
Activities range from walking safaris, vehicle safaris or a combination of the two. The guides accompanying guests on the game viewing experience are all highly qualified and experienced.
Airport transfer time: 3 hours from Mfuwe Airport

Bilimungwe Chalet
Bilimungwe’s four raised thatched rooms have been carefully designed to ensure the height of comfort whilst still retaining that authentic bushcamp feel, each with magnificent views of one or two of the three watering holes. The tangle of mature mahogany trees that surround camp are echoed in the rich, wood interiors and the beautiful wooden furniture, handmade by local artisans. Bright African textiles bring splashes of colour to the elegant rooms.
After an early morning game drive, head back to your room for a refreshing, open-air waterfall shower, or continue the wildlife spectacle from your private deck. Two of the chalets have twin beds (queen-sized beds) and two have doubles (king-sized bed).
The lounge and dining area is built on stilts around a large, old termite mound, under an ancient mahogany tree which provides ample shade from the hot sunshine. Bilimungwe has a secret breakfast spot on the edge of Luangwa Valley, perfect to watch the sun rise over the Chindeni hills. Bilimungwe sleeps up to eight guests and is open from May to December.
Large, wooden and thatched chalets with an outdoor shower and indoor bathroom overlooking the watering holes.
