Bilimungwe Bushcamp, South Luangwa National Park, Zambia

Overlooking 3 waterholes with many herds of resident elephant, Bilimungwe Bushcamp is a hidden gem under huge mahogany trees. There are four open-fronted thatched chalets on wooden decks (2 twin chalets with queen beds and 2 double chalets each with a king bed). Each chalet has an en-suite bathroom with indoor and outdoor showers with cold and solar-heated water.

In Zambia’s iconic South Luangwa National Park, The Bushcamp Company operates six exclusive bushcamps in the remote south of the park, as well as the award-winning Mfuwe Lodge just inside the main park gate. Set out from any of these secluded, intimate camps and you will be guaranteed an unrivalled wildlife experience. With no other camps in the area and not traversed by any other vehicles, each camp is intimate and offers an authentic Zambian safari in stylishly appointed chalets.
