Located centrally in Kafue National Park lies Mukambi Safari Lodge, Gateway to Kafue National Park. Surrounded by one of the largest unspoilt wilderness areas in the world, the lodge is right on the banks of the Kafue River. All our viewing decks, accommodation and swimming pool overlook the river. From Mukambi we will show you the Kafue National Park. Vast areas of untouched nature, unspoiled by mass tourism makes Mukambi the ‘Real Africa’, which we make easily and affordably within your reach.

Facilities available are chalets, a restaurant and bar, decks with a relaxing river view, a small library and also a swimming pool. The thatch-on-brick chalets (five twin and four double, plus a family villa) are solidly built using beautifully carved wooden doors. Inside are mosquito-netted windows and teak four-poster beds and the decor is consciously ethnic. The clean tiled bathrooms have showers heated by solar power.

Mukambi also offers camping. There are individual camping spot under a thatch structure and there is a kitchen available at the campsite. Campers are welcome to eat at the lodge, if they make arrangement in advance.

An easy and casual atmosphere with the flexibility a small lodge can offer makes the days varied and exciting. Game drives, boat and fishing trips along with walking safaris where you are likely to see elephant, lion, leopard, cheetah, puku, hippo and many other mammals. Also the park hosts an incredible variety of birds. Together with our good food, friendly staff and our comfortable accommodation, they will make your stay unforgettable.

Mukambi is affordable and open all year round. It is easily accessible and certainly makes a good stopover as you pass through on the Great West Road. Mukambi has also a seasonal sister camp on the Busanga Plains, ‘The Plains Camp’. The turn off to Mukambi is signposted on the main Lusaka – Mongu tar road, about 9km east of the main Hook Bridge over the Kafue. The camp is 2km from the main road so it is easily accessible with a normal vehicle.
