Safari Lodge Zambia | Mchenja Bush Camp

 

Mchenja Bush Camp is set beneath a magnificent grove of these trees on the bank of the Luangwa commanding views up and down the river.  The camp comprises five stylishly designed tents each under its own thatched roof and with a deck in front overlooking the Luangwa river. The tents have inside baths with an outside shower room.

There is a small pool alongside the bar within the thatched main chitenje, allowing guests to seek cool refuge after their morning's safari activities.  As a luxury bush camp, Mchenja is the perfect destination to complete a walking safari that has combined stays at a number of our camps. 

Guests staying at Mchenja can choose whether they want to view their wildlife on foot or from an open gameviewing vehicle.  As is the case with Kakuli, the gameviewing in this area is superb and night drives are usually very worthwhile.  In addition to the ebony grove at camp there are two other stunning groves close by meaning that this most magnificent of trees plays a big part in your safari experience whilst at Mchenja.

Mchenja is the only Zambian bush camp to open in February and March.  At this time of year the river is high, we gain access by boat and activities are either on the river or on foot in the drier, sandy areas that surround camp.
