Overview

Three Rivers Camp is a seasonal, owner-run property in the Kafunta Safaris portfolio, offering a refined and immersive bush experience in the heart of South Luangwa.

Located at the confluence of the Luangwa, Luzangazi, and Kapamba Rivers, the camp sits in a remote and wildlife-rich area, about two hours south of Kafunta River Lodge and just 7 km upriver from Island Bush Camp. The surrounding landscape of open plains, oxbow lagoons, and riverine forest attracts a remarkable diversity of game—from large elephant and buffalo herds to giraffes, antelope, wild dogs, and more.

Together with Island Bush Camp, Three Rivers Camp offers a truly exclusive safari, far from crowds and close to nature. The camp features five spacious, stylish safari tents, each with an indoor sleeping area and a private raised sleep-out platform, allowing adventurous guests to spend a night under the stars in comfort and safety.

Activities include both walking safaris and game drives, with expertly guided explorations of the surrounding wilderness. Guests can also walk between Three Rivers and Island Bush Camp as part of a multi-day itinerary. For the most rewarding experience and optimal game viewing, we recommend combining a stay at Three Rivers Camp with Kafunta River Lodge.

Activities

Game Drives

Three Rivers Camp is in a very remote and wild location, and game drives will take guests to various locations in the Eastern side of the park (in the South). Being a fairly new camp (opened in 2017), and a seasonal one, animals are not as habituated to vehicles as what is expected in other parts of the park. Which makes game drive even more exciting as animals react naturally to us intruding on their territories. A wide range of antelopes not usually found in the Mfuwe area can be seen here. Vehicles have a shade roof, and will accommodate maximum 6 guests.

Walking Safaris

Three Rivers Camp is ideally located to explore the bush by foot. Bush walks bring a different experience to the safari, focusing on smaller animals, critters, birds and flora. Bigger animals are also often seen such as elephants, giraffes, antelopes and occasionally predators such as lions, leopards and wild dogs. Certified safari guide and escort scout provided. Unfortunately children under the age of 12 are not authorised on bush walks.
