Shenton Safaris’ intimate Mwamba Bush Camp reopened this season having undergone major refurbishments. From the beginning, their goal was to deliver extraordinary safari experiences in South Luangwa’s breathtaking wilderness, in an authentic and sustainable way. Over the past 24 years, Mwamba Bush Camp’s magic has captured guest’s hearts and so this new chapter is an especially exciting time.
Key improvements include:
- Enhanced Chalets: The chalets now feature woven bamboo on the exterior and interior, with a layer of matting and a screen in between to keep out insects and other elements. The rooms are more spacious and come with private verandas that offer stunning views of the surroundings.
- Relocated Gardenia Chalet: The Gardenia chalet has been relocated, yet it remains within the gardenias, retaining its name and charm. This area has been thoughtfully redesigned to blend seamlessly with the natural environment
- Outside Bathrooms: The outside bathrooms have undergone a light touch-up, now featuring solid paths, double basins complemented by stunning copper tapware, beautiful live-edge mirrors, and showers tucked into the trees for a gorgeous back-to-nature feel.
- New Deck: A major highlight of the revamp is the new deck, designed to offer a relaxing space with breathtaking views of the Mwamba river. It serves as a perfect spot for relaxation, providing an excellent vantage point for wildlife sightings. JWe’ve had plenty of elephants visit and lots of plains game grazing in front, underscoring the deck’s potential as a prime location for observing wildlife. This will also serve as the new breakfast deck. For the past 24 years since Mwamba opened, dinner has been enjoyed under the starlit sky next to the bar, nestled within the magnificent Ebony tree adorned with a trailing python vine and chandeliers.
Rest assured, Mwamba’s Last Waterhole Hide remains unchanged. It’s in a prime location, super productive, and continues to offer some of the best wildlife sightings.
