Lwenge River Camp

'Lwenge' takes its name from the ancient local word for this stretch of the Kafue River; it’s tranquil, unhurried waters the perfect backdrop to your safari. Here elephants cross on an almost daily basis, zigzagging from bank to bank, whilst leopard and lion seek shade in the lush riverine vegetation. And for those in the know skimmer island is a mere stone throw away. Although new, Lwenge River Camp is part of Classic Zambia’s legacy in the Kafue. With just 12 beds the River Camp is aimed at exclusive-use bookings, be it families, friend and photographic groups or couples that want that extra bit of space and privacy. A spectacular view from the camp of the Kafue River sets the tone, there is also a purpose-built guide’s room included on the property, not to mention a well-appointed pool and WiFi connection too.
