Mchenja Bush Camp

Mchenja occupies a stunning setting beneath a magnificent grove of ancient ebony trees on the banks of the peaceful Luangwa River in Zambia.

The camp comprises four stylishly designed tents each under its own cooling thatched roof and with a private deck in front overlooking the Luangwa River. The tents have indoor baths with a secluded outside shower room. There is a small pool alongside the bar within the thatched main chitenje (main lounge/dining area), 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 guided walking safari that has combined stays at a number of camps, allowing for a great exploration of the area. Alternatively, those guests seeking a little more comfort and pampering may choose to indulge in a longer stay here.

Guests staying at Mchenja can choose whether they want to view their wildlife on foot or from a specialized open game viewing vehicle. As is the case with Kakuli, the game viewing in this area is superb and night drives are usually very worthwhile, reaveling the secrets of fascinating nocturnal creatures. 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 while at Mchenja.
