Mchenja Bushcamp
About Mchenja Bushcamp
Mchenja Bushcamp sits on a beautiful bend of the Luangwa River, surrounded by a grove of ancient ebony trees that offer shade and a sense of permanence. The camp combines a classic tented style with a touch of elegance, providing a comfortable, refined base for exploring the heart of the South Luangwa. The area is renowned for its high concentration of wildlife, particularly leopards and elephants, which are often sighted near the riverbank. Guests can enjoy both walking and driving safaris, allowing for a comprehensive view of the local ecology. The atmosphere is sophisticated yet relaxed, making it a favorite for travelers who want to experience the best of the Luangwa with an eye for detail and high standards of service.
Why we like it
