Bilimungwe is an impressive camp, with a central open-sided bar/dining area on wooden decking between the trunks of huge mahogany trees. Here four comfortable chalets are made of cane and reeds. Each has twin double beds under a tall thatched roof, as well as an en-suite shower, a toilet and twin washbasins.

Note that Bilimungwe combines naturally with the other bushcamps which are run by the Bushcamp Company, namely Kuyenda , Chindeni , Chamilandu and Kapamba.
Bilimungwe has en-suite flush toilets and showers. Like the others, Bilimungwe concentrates on walking safaris both from and between the camps, though game-drives (day & night) are also offered. If you want some serious walking in quiet areas on the south side of the park, then this and its sister-camps are good choices.

Did you hear that we never got to Bilimungwe, as they closed it due to the rains? Instead we stayed an extra few days at Kapamba, although this was no hardship!
