Beautiful location, fabulous staff and Moffat is a great guide and host.

We enjoyed the walking very much." See all these reviews: 12n in Zambia

"What a wonderful camp and an incredible experience !! Certainly will go back.

This is a true bush camp in a real and unspoiled wild place.

It is designed for walking safaris and we did terrific guided walks of up to 6 hours seeing elephants, lion, buffalo, wild dogs, crocs, hippos and many other animals.

You can also do limited game drives including evening drives.

The quality of guiding is outstanding ( Moffat !!) and i learnt a tremendous amount about the bush.

Probably the best experience i have ever had while on safari." See all these reviews: 13n in Zambia

"The best walking camp in North park!

It had improved since my last visit some 25 years ago but I do not think it can be beat." See all these reviews: 12n in Zambia

"I love Mwaleshi. If I could go back to only one camp in Zambia, it would be here. Rustic, authentic, yet pampered and well-taken care of. The rooms have beautiful views. You are welcome to sit right in the Mwaleshi river out front, because it is too shallow for crocs. But......there actually are some tiny crocs about, who could get at your toes. (so amazing)

Change of guides here for me to Moffat. And he was as fantastic as Stephen. Our walks were a bit more arduous here. The heat, and terrain were tough. Rehydrating salts were on offer at breaks (and were absolutely necessary). We generally did walking in the morning. But, if we needed to, we could use the vehicle to shorten our afternoon walk, and have a bit of a mix (which we did). It was a very nice combination. Serious walk in the am, and easier time in the afternoon heat.

The rains started while we were here. Not to a major degree......but the plastics were brought out "just in case". The camp was closing the day after we left - for the season. And it was amazing to see all the work that goes into this.

I made special connections with my fellow travellers here, and am grateful for that. Again, safari has a way, especially with communal dining, to facilitate meeting like-minded folks from around the world.

This is......in short...... a very special camp. One I'll be back to, for likely an extended time." See all these reviews: 14n in Zambia

"I've lost count of how many times I've been to Mwaleshi, and it remains one of my favourite places in Africa.

The walking safari there is second to none, with Brent once again providing excellent guiding, while the camp itself - with its staggering sunrises over the Mwaleshi - remains the my ideal for getting away from it all.

This time, hyena sightings were a particular highlight." See all these reviews: 11n in Zambia

"We walked along the river from Takwela to Mwaleshi camp with Moffat guiding our group. It took a little longer as there were plenty of elephants around but we felt very safe.

The camp seemed a little disorganised at first but that soon settled down. We took advantage to be able to walk /stand in the river at camp to cool off. We loved the fact that the reed chalets had hot water showers only on a night time and in the morning a hot water jug was put by our wash basin.

On our first night we heard a lion kill close to camp which presented us with a great sighting the next day.

All the staff were helpful and friendly. Similar reed chalets which were very clean." See all these reviews: 13n in Zambia

"The highlight of the trip. Small camp on the Mwaleshi river, very well-managed.

Great food and bar.

Superb guiding from Brent." See all these reviews: 9n in Zambia

"Mwaleshi was our favourite camp. It is small and a walking only camp.

We walked to it from Takwela which was a great experience. Our guide at this camp, Brent, was extremely knowledgeable and we thoroughly enjoyed our walks in the bush and among the animals.

Walking up on a leopard was a highlight.

We were very well looked after in the camp and it was very peaceful." See all these reviews: 5n in Zambia; 3n in Zimbabwe

"It was mervellous, everything from the walks with the experienced guide and scout, the friendly and helpful staff, the best food and just a magical place.

I would stay longer next time!" See all these reviews: 12n in Zambia; 8n in Malawi
