Up to eight guests can enjoy the serenity of Zungulila in four spacious tents. Built under thatch roofs, each shaded tent has its own private bamboo veranda with immense views over an impressive variety of wildlife – from thirsty elephant at the springs and flocks of birds on the river, to prowling lion and large herds of buffalo on the grassy plains. With stylish interiors, ensuite bathrooms, hot-and-cold running water, outdoor showers and sunken plunge-pool you can enjoy your creatures and your creature comforts in this classic tented bushcamp. Two of the tents are twins (2 queen-sized beds), while two are doubles (king bed). Zungulila is open from April to January.
Zungulila chalets
Zungulila's four chalets all overlook the plain leading to the Kapamba River. The tented chalets with canopy ceilings invoke the old world, while the private plunge pools and outdoor showers are definitely modern! Each room has its own veranda overlooking the river.

Meaning ‘maybe tomorrow’ in Chichewa/Nyanja, the ethos of Kaya Mawa is in its name. Relaxed lakeside living is woven into the style, luxury and comfort of its Houses and Rooms.
