The journey

Journey overview

Mukambi Safari Lodge is perched on the banks of the vast Kafue River and is a short boat ride across the river and into one of the largest national parks in Africa. Encompassed by the Zambian bush, we are no strangers to the usual lions, leopards, elephants and white-tailed mongoose strolling through the camp. Relax by our pool, overlooking the river, while sipping on a cold drink. Activities range from game drives, boat cruises, walking safaris, or a massage in the comfort of your own room.
