Mwamba Bushcamp review
We loved Mwamba bushcamp, and we especially liked arriving on foot.
The rooms are perfect, with amazing open air bathrooms. We liked the fact that the camp is small, yet with open views on the dry river.
The guiding was excellent, and we observed a leopard eating its prey. Thanks to our great guide, we also got a feeling of how it amazingly fits together.
The cooking was fabulous, and the only suggestion would be to have a few more of those delicious cookies and salads for hungrier stomachs.

If this is camping .....!
How did they make all those amazing meals with those kitchen facilities?
Mwamba Bushcamp review
Exciting place to stay - altho the elephants in camp at night rather nerve-wracking.

Thanks to Ian and Patrick this is a great place. Showing the importance of hands-on management and professional guides.
The rooms are certainly to be commanded, particularly when comparing with the main camp (Kaingo) and Patrick is a first class guide. He made a superb pair with the scout whose name we don't remember.

Excellent walks and game drives.
Thanks to everybody for the unforgettable stay.
Mwamba Bush Camp
A superbly located small bush camp located on the banks of the (in October) dry Mwamba river. Josh and his team did a fantastic job of delivering absolutely first rate service in challenging circumstances - elephant came through camp two out of the three nights we were there, the first night demolishing part of the kitchen, and the third night trashing our shower, and for good measure, the kitchen again. How he kept his humour, we'll never know!
Patrick was an absolutely superlative guide - extremely knowlegeable, always friendly and good humoured, and with an ability to spot anything. That leopard sighting in the tree still makes our hearts race. Gideon was a great spotter. The in-house hide is fabulous - located overlooking a small pumped water pool, and attracting a lot of wildlife; a very tranquil location to catch up after breakfast on the photo downloads and back-ups while waiting for activity.
We were particularly lucky to be sharing the camp with just one other delightful couple for the first two nights, although we could guess the intimacy could be a little more challenging with less enchanting guests. One small note - our chalet was located under the branches of a fig tree. The baboons took great delight in pelting us with figs while showering, and it was probably the abundance of figs that encouraged the elephants to visit around 1am in the morning. The other two chalets did not appear to be affected.
Patrick - if you read this - thank you for sharing in your "little piece of paradise". And Jsoh - for a first time Africa hand, you did a fabulous job. Again, if the scale went above "Excellent" Mwamba would receive even higher marks.
Heaven with flies
Mwamba means heaven and this place was certainly that, Josh the Manager had moved from Kaingo the day before we did and did a splendid job during our stay at the camp, the setting is so peaceful with lots of sightings in and around the camp.
Maen was our guide for the majority of the trips out from the camp and did a fantastic job, one morning drive started with elephants and zebras, moved onto eight lions hunting two buffalo which they failed to bring down (buffalos can really run when they need to) then morning tea at the elephant crossing, all seen in perfect light which gave opportunity of fantastic photos.
Mwamba Bush Camp review
Excellent guiding and very welcoming staff. Camp is informal and relaxing and one feels at home immediately.

Exactly the same comments as per Kaingo. [Ed: this traveller commented: 'All aspects of the camp were first rate. Lovely relaxed atmosphere, very professionally run.']
If anything I preferred Mwamba as it was more intimate.
