Mwaleshi Camp

Mwaleshi Camp, nestled in a scenic bend of the Mwaleshi River within the remote North Luangwa National Park, offers an unparalleled authentic safari experience. With only four thatched chalets, rebuilt annually from natural materials, guests are guaranteed solitude and seclusion. The camp embraces a refreshingly simple yet comfortable life, prioritizing immersive walking safaris that attune all senses to the magical diversity of the surrounding bush. The camp’s unique location, 10km upstream from the Luangwa River confluence, means few roads and an emphasis on exploring on foot, following existing animal trails. Accompanied by an experienced manager/guide and an armed National Park scout, guests can deeply connect with Africa’s limitless expanse. While walking is paramount, a vehicle is available for excursions to attractions farther afield, such as the impressive Mwaleshi Falls. Evenings under the vast African sky are a highlight, with open-to-the-stars en-suite bathrooms and uninterrupted views of the Mwaleshi River from each chalet. Delicious bush cuisine, cooked over a wood fire and featuring fresh produce from the Tafika garden, completes the authentic wilderness experience, leaving guests with a profound connection to nature, serenaded by the sounds of the Luangwa every night.
