Musesenji River Camp is a luxury safari camp opening in April 2027 in Zambia's Lower Zambezi National Park. Set at the confluence of the Zambezi and Musesenji Rivers in the park's remote eastern sector, it offers a more secluded safari experience than many camps in the area. With just six tented suites, private plunge pools, guided walks, boat excursions and game drives, it is ideal for travellers seeking both comfort and a genuine sense of wilderness.

Facilities at the camp include a central lounge, bar and restaurant area positioned to take in sweeping river views, complemented by generous outdoor seating and dining spaces. Additional amenities include à la carte dining, a curated library and curio shop, a gym, and a firepit overlooking the river for evening gatherings.
Accommodation consists of five luxury safari tents and one family tent, accommodating a maximum of fourteen guests. Each tent features air conditioning and a private plunge pool, placing Musesenji firmly within the luxury safari category while maintaining a strong connection to its natural surroundings. Positioned to take advantage of sweeping views over the surrounding rivers and floodplains, the tents offer a comfortable base from which to explore this remote corner of the Lower Zambezi.
The setting, on a raised peninsula where the Musesenji River meets the Zambezi. As the easternmost camp in the park, it has one of the least-visited corners of the Lower Zambezi more or less to itself.
Make time for both the water and your feet. Watching elephants from a boat on the Zambezi, then tracking the same stretch of riverbank on foot with a guide, gives you two entirely different versions of one landscape.
The camp sits in the far east of the park, well away from the better-known central Lower Zambezi. That remoteness is the whole point, but if the classic heartland is on your wish list, pair it with a second camp.
