Mchenja Bushcamp, Zambia

Contact a specialist about Mchenja Bushcamp, Zambia

Mchenja, meaning "ebony", occupies a stunning setting beneath a magnificent grove of these trees on the banks of the Luangwa River. It is just a short morning's walk upstream from Kakuli Bush Camp and is in an area teaming with wildlife. Although this camp takes luxury in the bush to a level not previously seen in Zambia, it is a bush camp designed to combine excellently with our other more rustic locations. 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. Alternatively, those guests seeking a little more comfort and pampering may choose to combine a longer stay here, with a number of nights at the main lodge.

  • The game viewing in this area is superb and night drives are usually very worthwhile. Mchenja is the only Zambian bush camp to open in February and March.
  • At this time of year the river is high, you will gain access by boat and activities are either on the river or on foot in the drier, sandy areas that surround camp.
