The Reawakening of Kafue's Jewel: A New Chapter for Mawimbi Bush Camp

Set on the banks of the mighty Kafue River, Mawimbi provides a perfect base for exploring 22,400 square kilometres of pristine wilderness, home to over 150 mammal, 500 bird, and 100 reptile and aquatic species. The four elegant, river-facing tented suites and the main lodge lapa are positioned to take full advantage of their unique location, nestled between the river and a vibrant natural wetland. This prime spot ensures incredible wildlife sightings right from the comfort of the camp.

A Year-Round Safari Adventure

Unlike many other lodges in the region, Mawimbi Bush Camp is open year-round. This allows guests to witness the full, magnificent cycle of the Kafue ecosystem. While the dry season offers dramatic wildlife concentrations around water sources, the "Green" or "Emerald" Season brings a different spectacle entirely. From the arrival of migratory birds and the thrilling birthing season for many animals to the vibrant, lush landscapes, there's always something new to discover. 

Tailored Experiences for Every Guest

At Mawimbi, your safari holiday is crafted just for you. All-inclusive rates ensure a comprehensive and seamless Kafue experience. The focus is on delivering a raw and authentic African safari, with the team creating a bespoke itinerary based on your interests. Opt for an early morning game drive, a walking safari to track wildlife on foot, or a serene river trip with one of their expert guides. For those seeking relaxation, simply unwind at the lapa with a good book or use a pair of binoculars to spot some of the abundant birdlife.

The new lodge offers sumptuous local cuisine prepared by skilled chefs, with every meal designed to be a memorable part of your journey. Each of the four tented suites features a private deck with a plunge pool/ hot tub, an en-suite indoor bathroom, and an open-air shower, all with beautiful river frontage.

Your Gateway to Zambia's Wonders
