    About Kapamba Camp

    • Close Panel 

    Part of the Bush Camp Company camps, Kapamba is a luxurious bush camp set on the banks of the Kapamba River, which is a tributary of the Luangwa.  This is situated in the far south of the park in an area used almost exclusively by Bush Camp Company so very few tourists and other vehicles are encountered here.  The wildlife in the area is prolific and includes a frequently seen group of Wild Dogs, the 'Kapamba pack'.  Walking safaris are the main activity here and sundowner drinks are often taken sitting in the river cooling off as the day comes to an end.

    The camp consists of four permanent thatch covered stone chalets with en-suite twin showers, toilet and double vanities.  Each room has huge bath with a view of the river.  There are two doubles and two twins and all are open to the widest side, giving private views to the water and having a trellis of metal doors which can close at night to make the guests feel more secure from the wildlife!  The dining area & bar has a deck overlooking the river, which flows year round.

    Pricing guidelines for Zambia

    • Open Panel 

    We hope the following will give you a rough idea of costs. These are quoted per person based on twin share for two people, without international flights but including internal flights. We’ve used good standard accommodation throughout. There are nearly always ways to spend more money than we’ve suggested (!), but these prices show a good and realistic range for each type of trip.

    International flights will add from about £600 to £800 depending on the season and route (unless airlines have special offers). Zambia combines well with Malawi and Botswana.

    For a specific personal quote based on any tailor made itinerary you have in mind, please contact us and we’ll be happy to help you.
