This tiny seasonal camp stands on a picturesque stretch of the Mwaleshi River, deep in the bush of North Luangwa National Park, close to the area for walking safaris.
Although simple and extremely unpretentious, Mwaleshi Camp is still very comfortable. The grass-and-pole chalets are rebuilt each year, with an en suite bathroom with flushing toilet and bucket shower. Lighting is solar-powered.
Activities focus on walking safaris (there are no drives), so you should pack suitable footwear. Walks last around three to four hours at a relaxed pace with a refreshment break.
This is a real wilderness retreat, and the abundant wildlife includes lion, elephant buffalo, and herds of endemic Cookson’s wildebeest. In the dry season, it is possible to bathe safely in the shallow water of the river.
This small group trip visits Zambia’s sensational South Luangwa and North Luangwa National Parks to enjoy walking safaris, and is jointly led by author Simon Barnes and Wildlife Worldwide founder Chris Breen. Their shared passion for the area and its abundant wildlife guarantee an illuminating and fun experience! Find out more about Walking in the Heart of Zambia
