Mchenja: Our ViewAlthough the whole idea of the bush camp is to be in the bush, away from all luxurious etc. the fact is that there is a market that doesn’t want to loose the luxury! Mchenja caters for this market and does it damn well! This is a great camp in a great location – standards of guiding are up there with the best of the Carr camps – a perfect camp to spend a couple of nights after ruffing it! Mchenja gets 5 paws because it is the most luxurious bush camp in the valley and yet manages to maintain a great balance between luxury and that authentic rustic character that’s evident in the best of the valleys bush camps.

Mchenja: The DetailMchenja Is situated in South Luangwa and is Norman Carr’s most luxurious bush camp Overlooking a sweeping bend of the Luangwa River, the central area is stunning, designed from a fallen ebony tree and focused around a large plunge pool, looking over the Luangwa. Massive ebony tree’s (Mchenja) surround the camp, offering respites from the sun and spacious areas where each of the octagonal tents enjoys total privacy. The rooms themselves are incredibly luxurious, with free standings baths, outdoor en suite bathrooms and a beautiful design. Each leads onto a manicured lawn that stretches for 20 yards before dropping off into the Luangwa. The setting is stunning and the camp is incredibly spacious offering guests the chance to stroll around camp or simply sit under the shade of an ebony tree, right on the banks of the Luangwa.

What a truly exceptional camp! Tafika is one of the remaining owner run camps in Africa with John and Carol ever present. The result is a camp that genuinely cares for each and every one of its guests.

Views, views and more views – the setting at Kakuli is spectacular. The tents are fully enclosed and so overall, this camp is not as rustic as the sister camps Luwi or Nsolo. However Kakuli offers a great bush experience for those who want to feel a little more ‘secure’ – this is yet again a fantastic camp from Norman Carr.

Nsefu is certainly one of the most famous camps in the Luangwa and with exceptional guiding standards you simply cannot be let down. The setting is stunning - the views are absolutely beautiful (up there with the very best in the park) and the lodge has a great character that is very hard to beat.
