Refinement and Seclusion in South Luangwa Time + Tide  Mchenja Camp, signifying “ebony,” is an exquisite camp situated among venerable ebony trees along the banks of Zambia’s Luangwa River within South Luangwa National Park.  This immersive wildlife experience narrates timeless stories of ecological balance, seamless opulence, and African allure.

Mchenja Camp, situated on a serene river bend in the Luangwa Valley, is among the premier locations in Africa for observing elephants, buffalo, hippos, and crocodiles.  While it is unnecessary to exit your opulent tent to observe wildlife, being situated in Africa’s premier walking safari destination makes it worthwhile to venture into the bush with a guide to encounter leopards, as well as the endemic Thornicroft’s giraffe and Cookson’s wildebeest.  Both daytime and nighttime excursions in an open game-viewing vehicle are offered.

The sophisticated camp features only five beautifully built tented suites, making it the perfect retreat for honeymooners.  Each tent features an own en suite open-air bathroom, complete with Victorian-style bathtubs with a river view.  The camp’s plunge pool in the main lounge, adjacent to the bar and library, provides relief during the warmer months.  Delectable dishes are frequently presented along the riverbank beneath a shimmering sky.
