"Mwamba Bushcamp review"

3 nights Arrived 28 Jun 2022
"This is our favorite -remains a special traditional bush camp We were also fortunate that we were the only guests there We returned partly for the waterhole -but last time we were there much later (in mid August ) This time too much water around so very little activity at the famous hide -in fact it was still being prepared.
However we still had an even better time than last time.
Maddie and our guide Yuram looked after us very well Also mention to the wonderful Batwell . The staff we also great -John ,Henry,Paul and Dave.

Amazing male lion sightings, chameleon and eland -plus more leopards

This is an amazing camp for the real safari experience !!" See all these reviews: 9n in Zambia

"Mwamba is the ideal bushcamp"

4 nights Arrived 23 Jun 2022
"One of best camp that I have ever stayed and definitely my favorite in this trip. Traditional reed and thatch room with outdoor shower - as close to nature as it comes. Bar and dining area looks wonderful and I wish we have more relaxing time to enjoy the area a little more. Similar to Kaingo, food and service were excellent.

We did a few walking here including a transfer from Kaingo to Mwamba - very enjoyable and informative with Sylvester as our guide. Here, we tasted Baobab fruit and enjoyed a sundowner with Baobab tree in the background - it was magical.

Game drive in-land from Mwamba allows us to see Cooksons wildebeest (endemic to South Luangwa) and eland.

We also spent one night on a starbed sleepout (Numbu) and we love the whole experience." See all these reviews: 14n in Zambia

"Wonderful bushcamp"

6 nights Arrived 18 Jun 2022
"This was my favorite camp during this trip, and it may well be my favorite out of nine safaris. The location along a dry river bed is beautiful, everyday I saw wildlife from my hut/room. The open air bathroom is very comfartable. The room is designed with a lot of taste. The meals very very good. Game drives were very productive, and there are very few cars in this area. My guide, Elias, was very knowledgeable and I learned a lot from him. The small team and Maddy the manager are very sympathetic and did everything to make my stay at Mwamba truely unforgettable."

"Mwamba Bushcamp review"

3 nights Arrived 25 Oct 2021
"A fabulous start to our safari.

Perhaps our favourite camp because of the wonderful aesthetics of the camp itself, and the hide, from which we saw fabulous stuff. Guiding was excellent. Highly recommended.

Saw a leopard with her two cubs--which is apparently unheard of. From your list of animal sightings, I ticked off buffalo X3, elephant (too many to count), Giraffe X2, hippos (too many to count), leopard 2X different sitings, up close, lions (lots, and with kills), Hyena X1, porcupine X2, Honey badger X1, White Tailed Mongoose, Bushy tailed mongoose, Spotted genet, elephant shrew, crocodiles. I'm not listing the 'common' stuff.

Lots of birds, of course." See all these reviews: 10n in Zambia; 10n in Zimbabwe

"Mwamba Bushcamp review"

3 nights Arrived 18 Oct 2021
"Definitely my best camp choice for an October stay.

I was the only guest there throughout the stay and they gave me the room closest to the hide. The Last Waterhole hide was a hive of activity. Lions came everyday, and there is a constant parade of animals quenching their thirst eg elephants, buffalos, hyenas, guinea fowls, impalas, vultures. Both day and night. Astounding.

No camp manager onsite with covid reorg (common trend it seems with satellite/sister camps, not just with Shenton) but they bring in an interim one from Kaingo Camp whenever a guest is on site." See all these reviews: 16n in Zambia

"Mwamba Bushcamp review"

5 nights Arrived 3 Oct 2021
"I enjoyed my stay at Mwamba, but didn't quite love it quite as much as I expected. I was the only guest for 5 nights, but the host, Tom, was good company. 

The hide is a great asset at this time of year and I was lucky enough to catch lions coming down to drink. The hide is also great for those things that are normally a bit small to photograph well, like smaller birds such as Lilian's lovebirds coming down to drink.

The rooms are nice and I like the open air bathroom but the bedroom felt a bit enclosed- I prefer the more open style of some bush camps.

I think the main disappointment was the guiding.  My guide seemed to lack enthusiasm and spend most of the drives chatting to the spotter and didn't really communicate much to ask me where I'd like to go or what I'd like to see, despite the fact that I know the area very well.  We just repeatedly headed to areas where he knew the Kaingo guides had seen lions until I insisted on exploring some of the more scenic areas.  His bird knowledge seemed a bit shaky. 

I know Shenton's pitch themselves at photographers, but I wasn't overly convinced he had much understanding of vehicle positioning for photography either.  I don't wish to sound overly critical as I've experienced a lot worse, but given Shentons have a reputation for top guiding I felt my experience was just average."

"Mwamba Bushcamp review"

2 nights Arrived 23 Sep 2021
"After three days at Kaingo, I moved to sister camp Mwamba Bush for two days. Mwamba is more rustic than Kaingo (bucket shower etc), and away from the main river, but still a great location.

The two camps make a great combination - see my Kaingo review for comments on the high quality of guiding and wildlife/photography orientation of Shenton Safaris - comments apply equally to Mwamba. Meals were very good, no wifi at this camp unlike Kaingo which has limited wifi access.

At the time of my stay, during COVID and fewer guests, vehicles and guides were shared between the two camps, and I had the same guide and private vehicle for the full 5 days.

Mwamba has a great hide, "The Last Waterhole" right adjacent to the camp, and you can walk over to it anytime. There is a steady procession of wildlife big and small visiting the waterhole throughout the course of the day, and the hide provides a great location for low angle photography. Also lots of opportunity for close photography of many bird species coming to the water.

There is also a raised platform a few km away available upon advance booking and additional charge for sleepout, which I visited during the day but did not overnight. While both platforms are no doubt amazing for a unique overnight, I would likely lean to the Kaingo experience rather than at Mwamba. But YMMV!

Kudos to Derek and Jules of Shenton Safaris - both camps are highly recommended, particularly for seasoned safari travellers and photographers." See all these reviews: 6n in Zambia

"Mwamba Bushcamp review"

3 nights Arrived 23 Jun 2021
"Mwamba is an authentic Zambian “reed-chalet” style bush camp with only 4 rooms, where we spent 3 glorious days and loved every minute. Our “room” was nestled under a huge strangle fig tree with a big outdoor bathroom and a bucket shower under another big tree. We can see baboons and impalas from our bed. Everything was “Swiss Family Robinson” and utterly charming.

We transferred by canoe from Nsefu, and were met by Patrick on the other side of the river. Again, we were the only guests – great for us, sad for the camp. Our first morning and afternoon drives were pretty quiet. The area around camp was very beautiful with lots of birds and we saw beautiful flocks of love birds and our one and the only carmine bee eater of the trip. However, the night drive was action packed and we saw 2 leopards (our 4th and 5th of the day), genet, civet, and a scope owl.

The camp is hosted by the executive chef and we were joined by the host from Kaingo for tea and dinner where we had wonderful conversation. The staff at the camp seemed genuinely fond of each other and the atmosphere was fun and informal. Patrick had some very funny as well as harrowing stories, including one about being surrounded by lions during a truck breakdown. We also talked about the current COVID outbreak and the impact the pandemic has had on the tourism industry. All three of our South Luangwa guides trained together and know each other. They all took up farming last year. It breaks my heart to hear that such accomplished men had to take up subsistence farming to feed their families.

Next morning started out quiet again as Patrick showed us a beautiful ebony forest nearby. The place felt like a cathedral. We spent quite a bit of time watching a big flock of yellow bill storks near a pond. Then Patrick said let’s go check out a gully where one of the neighborhood leopards likes to hang out. Before he could finish his sentence, there was the leopard, who began stalking a couple of impalas. We watched for a long time but the impalas were always just out of reach.

That afternoon / evening we saw beautiful zebras, elephants, and yet another leopard. This was the night for our special “star bed sleep-out”, and it was beyond amazing. The “star bed” is a tree house under mosquito net and the most romantic “room” I have ever seen. Catherine and Johan cooked a delicious meal for us over the camp fire which we ate under a full moon. After dinner, we were left alone to sleep under the moonlit sky with the hyenas calling all night.

Next morning Patrick came by, started a fire, and made coffee and breakfast. We set out for walking safari from the camp. We walked at every camp and this one was my favorite. We visited a series of waterholes, approached a big herd of buffaloes on foot, and saw 30+ Cookson wildebeests. These were new animals for us. They were gray and very handsome animals when compared with the regular gnus.

Soon it was time for our last game drive of South Luangwa. Even though we had seen scores of leopards, we had not seen a single lion after 7 days. I also had a running joke with all the spotters that evening drives were “porcupine time”, knowing chances of seeing one is low. I would say “porcupine”, and they would say “elephant shrew”.

On this evening, we came to a fork in the road, and Patrick said his instincts told him to go one way. Shortly after that we saw another truck, which were only the second truck we saw for the entire 3 days. They had seen lions, so we followed their direction and soon found 2 moms and 3 large-ish cubs feeding on a zebra. We got quite close, and it was a bit disturbing to be “surrounded” by lions after dark just like in Patrick’s story. We’ve been close to lions, but never so many and so close while dark. I think it’s scary because you can’t see them all. I keep imagining one creeping up on me.

Feeling happy that we finally saw some lions, we started heading home. Suddenly, Patrick shouted “Porcupine!”, and sure enough there was one on the road right in front of our truck. Our first porcupine ever! Moments later a second one ran across the road. It was beyond believe that we saw lions AND two porcupines on our very last game drive!

This was our 4th safari, and every trip has been the “best” in its own way. But no place has filled my heart like South Luangwa. The beauty of the land was stunning and animal sightings were exciting, but I think it was the guides that made our experience so special. It was a privilege to spend time with these soulful, smart and funny men. We can’t wait to go back again." See all these reviews: 10n in Zambia

"Great camp!"

4 nights Arrived 24 Sep 2019
"After four nights at Kaingo camp, we transferred for four nights at the smaller, more intimate Mwamba Bushcamp. We were glad that we did both camps as each one has its own personality. Again, the staff here went out of their way to make sure we had a wonderful time. We enjoyed the rustic feel of the camp and having breakfast and lunch out in the open, feeling very much like having meals out in the bush. Our guide here, Shane, was great and in addition to finding lots and lots of game for us, also gave us valuable suggestions for taking photos and managing our camera settings.

Incidentally, we spent a night at the Mwamba Star Bed and loved it. It was pretty much a moonless night and we spent a long time just lying in bed looking up through the mosquito netting and the silhouette of the tree branches above to a spectacularly starry sky. Would do this again in a heartbeat." See all these reviews: 12n in Zambia; 4n in Malawi
