The camp houses a maximum of eight people in four lodgings on the banks of the river. There is no one else for miles. The intimacy of the place makes it feel like visiting family friends. The design of the lodgings is apparently Italian and highly idiosyncratic, right down to the 2000 litre bath tub and double showers. Highlights included... More

A 4 hour drive into the bush was well worth it. The scenery here is amazing and the accommodation luxurious. The enormous bath was a welcome plunge pool after our sweaty journey. Our guide from Mfuwe Lodge accompanied us on this 3 day trip and he was so full of knowledge, taking us on the most wonderful walking safari, looking... More

The drive was 4 hours from Mfuwe, but was like a safari, we saw kudu and monitors. The stay there was amazing: you're remote but the level of service is excellent, and very personal because it is only a small place. Walking safaris every day and jeep safaris at night. Lots of elephants, hippos, and we were visited by hyena... More

Kapamba bushcamp is a very special place! The rooms are amazing and you have a fantastic view across the Kapamba river, which you can swim in! The staff are all extremely helpful and kind. The food is also delicious. The walking safaris are a truly great experience and allow you to appreciate the smaller animals and plants as well as... More

Going to Kapamba was certainly a holiday to treasure forever! Driving from the lodge out to the bushcamp was memorable, seeing loads of wildlife and as it was the rainy season- even the ponchos made an appearance-but this didn't damped our spirits. We were there for three nights yet it felt like a month- the sun-downers were out of this... More

I absolutely love it here. Having had the opportunity to visit both Mfuwe and Kapamba in October (aka "the suicide months" because it's so dry and hot), I was thrilled to share the experience with my parents who came to visit me for the holidays. As there are only two camps open this time of the year (Kapamba and Zungulila),... More

We so enjoyed 3 days at this remote, peaceful and fascinating bush camp over Christmas 2011. At the height of the 'emerald season' the bush was vibrant and lush, the rivers filling and the game healthy and plentiful. We enjoyed the best hospitality ever, including surprise bush breakfasts and roast turkey with all the trimmings on Christmas Day - we... More

While visiting Mfuwe Lodge, I spend 3 nights at Kapamba Bushcamp. Due to the time being low-season, I was the only guest, with 8 staff members to give me the royal treat. I could chose my own lunch/dinner times and when I wanted to go for walking safari/game drives. What more can you wish for! I had the best time... More

Eight of us close friends stayed 2 nights at Kapamba in early June, and had a glorious experience in the wild. The camp was intimate and remote and was perfect for the 4 couples in our group. The open-fronted brightly colored 4 chalets came with all the luxury amenities, while still preserving a bush camp appearance. They were spotless, spacious... More

Location would have been brilliant - however after the driest season in recent decades there was no water in the Kapamba River so bird viewing a little tricky! Peaceful. Fantastic service. Brilliant guiding by Fanuel - he deserves a medal.
