Mwamba Bush Camp

Mwamba, meaning "heaven" in the local Nyanja language, is Shenton Safaris' exclusive bush camp, founded in 1995 on a former poacher's campsite by Derek as a conservation initiative. The camp embodies Derek's ethos of "conservation through tourism," offering a uniquely authentic safari experience. The camp features four rustic yet luxurious chalets nestled along the Mwamba River. Every aspect of camp life is meticulously designed to create a harmonious and immersive experience in the heart of the bush, reflecting the Shenton family's rhythm. Mwamba provides an exceptional opportunity to connect with nature, offering unparalleled wildlife viewing from its renowned photographic hides and the exclusive Numbu Star Bed for an unforgettable stargazing experience.
