BILIMUNGWE BUSHCAMP
Bilimungwe Bushcamp is set beneath a canopy of mahogany trees in South Luangwa National Park. The heart of the camp is the central lounge and dining area, built around a massive mahogany tree and decorated with locally crafted wooden bowls, basins, and shelves.
The camp has four thatched chalets, each overlooking one of Bilimungwe’s three waterholes. Wildlife is always nearby, and many guests enjoy relaxing on their private verandas, watching animals come and go.
A star deck overlooks the Bilimungwe plain, offering a perfect spot to take in the wide South Luangwa skies. Mornings start with breakfast in the boma on the banks of the Luangwa River, where guests can enjoy sunrise views across the water while enjoying their cup of tea or coffee.
Guests can explore the area on morning walking safaris or game drives, with an afternoon/evening game drive offered daily. Experienced guides lead each activity, sharing their knowledge of the park’s wildlife and ecosystems.
Bilimungwe’s intimate setting, abundant wildlife, and excellent guiding make it a favorite for those wanting an authentic bush experience.

South Luangwa is known for its walking safaris, offering a unique view of the bush. Many guests enjoy morning walks at the Bushcamps, and for the ultimate walking experience, they can walk between camps. We also offer extra guides and vehicles for those who prefer game drives. Private guides are available for even more flexibility. The average guest stay is 7 to 10 nights, often at a combination of properties.
Mfuwe Lodge is famous for the elephants that walk through reception each October to December to reach the wild mango tree in the courtyard.
The Bushcamp Company supports several conservation and community initiatives. We provide significant funding to Conservation South Luangwa, supporting their anti-snaring and anti-poaching efforts, and also to the Zambian Carnivore Programme.
Through our Commit to Clean Water program, we have drilled nearly 300 boreholes in the Mfuwe area, providing safe drinking water to nearly 75,000 people daily. Our Meal-a-Day program feeds over 4,000 schoolchildren each day, and our Education Scholarships support over 350 students each year from primary to tertiary education.
