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, each with a private veranda, so guests can enjoy views of the Kapamba River from the privacy of their own room. All have en-suite bathrooms with large sunken bath and twin showers, toilet and double vanities. 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! There is a central deck with the lounge, bar and dining area 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 each accommodation on this website you will find an indication of the price. The bands are based on the price per person per night at peak season and are represented by the following values for this country:

Tribes Advisor

Kampamba Camp has a 'rustic wow factor'!  It's style of huge stone rooms open on the wide side are something very different to other camps.  Sitting in the huge plunge pool (sorry - bath tub they call them!) watching out over the river is a great experience and the game viewing in this remote corner of the park is fantastic.
