Zambia

Zungulila Bushcamp

PLAN MY TRIP

The newest of The Bushcamp Company’s six bushcamps, Zungulila is a classic tented safari camp situated in a remote area of Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park.

The camp is composed of four spacious thatch-roofed tents. There are two tents with two queen-sized beds and two tents with a king-sized bed available. Each Meru-style tent comes with an en suite bathroom with a sink, a flush toilet, and a romantic outdoor shower. For added privacy and relaxation, the tent’s also include a private deck with a sunken plunge pool making it the prefect spot to stay cool while watching the wildlife including elephants drinking at the spring or waterfowl gliding over the river.

The camp is located in South Luangwa National Park, a world-famous wildlife haven, centered around the Luangwa River. Its historic virility stems from its topography. The Muchinga Escarpment forms the park’s western and northwestern boundaries, sloping steeply down to the river from the west side. The river valley, continued to the west by the Lunsemfwa River valley, forms a natural barrier, and to this day there are no man-made roads spanning the valley. The Park enjoys a dense animal population including Impalas, pukus, waterbucks, giraffes, and buffaloes grazing on the plains. A high number of leopards stalk the dense woodlands, while herds of elephant wade through the marshes and hippos play in the Luangwa River. There are about 400 bird species recorded in the Park.

As South Luangwa National Park is the rumored birthplace of the walking safari, the camp offers expertly guided walks led by an armed scout from the Zambian Wildlife Authority and a knowledgeable local guide. Not only is a waking safari the best way to take a closer look at the area’s flora and fauna, it also provides lessons on tracking animals by their spoor or how to use the juice of a sausage tree to soothe an insect bite. Daily game drives are conducted by expert trackers in 4×4 vehicles. Night drives use spotlights to discover the nocturnal antics of many animals missed during the day. Sundowners are served right on the river’s edge.

The camp overlooks the smooth and shallow Kapamba River as well as its expansive floodplain and a natural spring. The camp’s central dining room, lounge, and fully-stocked bar features magnificent views of the river and Muchinga Escarpment. At night, everyone gathers around the traditional boma firepit set on a sunken deck for a drink and a chance to swap stories. An eco-friendly property, the camp runs on solar power.
