Kapamba camp is the furthest south of all the camps of The Bushcamp Company and one of the most remote in the whole of the South Luangwa National Park. It is also one of the most luxurious. Set on the banks of the shallow, spring-fed 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 bath.
The charm and romance of Kapamba Camp 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 baths - the ultimate in bush indulgence. 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 in your room whilst you sleep. The central bar and dining room is positioned under matumi and sausage trees, with a wide deck that stretches out with views of the Kapamba river.
Kapamba Camp offers both walking safaris and game drives by 4x4 vehicle. Given its location on a sandy floodplain, Kapamba Camp is also the only bush camp (along with Bilimungwe to the north of it), which is open in November, December and May, as the area doesn't get as water-logged as the rest of the Luangwa valley. During these months you access the camp through a southern gate, rather than via the Mfuwe bridge, and activities are even more firmly centred around walking safaris (as game drives really aren't possible during this time).
Transfers to Kapamba from Mfuwe Airport are done in the form of a long game drive en route to the lodge. Please note that this is a very long transfer (3½ hours) given the seclusion of the lodge.
