The Campsite   ~  Campers and independent travellers

Set away from the main lodge in a prime position on the banks of the Luangwa River is the Wildlife Campsite.

WARTHOGS BAR

 We undoubtedly have one of the best views in the valley for watching the sunset across the Luangwa River, so please join us for a sun-downer at the recently renovated Warthogs bar and appreciate the true beauty of Zambia.

Each night as the sun sets the hippos make their way slowly ashore, so you can start your game viewing from the comfort of the bar! Warthogs offers comfortable chill-out areas in the bar, darts and also some relaxing tunes to unwind too.

The camping area is stretched along the banks of the river and the only way to describe it is “stunning”. At night time visitors to the campsite include elephants, hippos, lions, and the occasional hyena. The resident leopard does let you hear when he is around, but is not keen on being seen.

  The camp is complete with grassy areas, shady trees, ablution blocks with hot showers, thatched shelters for big groups, power points, swimming pool, darts and bar for refreshing drinks after a long days’ drive.

 Guests staying at the campsite are more than welcome to order their meals from our excellent kitchen in the main restaurant, located a few minutes drive from the campsite. All meals are prepared from local produce and we offer a menu to suit all tastes. In the evening and early mornings we can supply transport to and from the restaurant.

BACKPACKERS INFORMATION

The local bus network between Lusaka and Chipata is very good. If you take the early bus from Lusaka, you can make it here in one day. When you arrive in Chipata ask at the station for the transport to Mfuwe - you can either get the "Canter trucks" or hire a taxi.  For a small additional fee, the trucks will bring you to camp.

The trucks operate daily to the valley and leave here to return to Chipata in the early hours of the morning.  Once here, our friendly staff can advise you on the various options for your onward journey. That is, if you ever want to leave.
