MAWIMBI OPENS 1st Aug!

Join our waiting list for an unforgettable safari experience in the heart of Kafue
Prime location between the great Kafue River and a natural wetland
Game Drives, Walking Safaris and River Trips
Incredible wildlife sightings

If you only have time to visit one camp in the Kafue, then a visit to Mawimbi will not disappoint. Centrally located on the west banks of the Kafue River, Mawimbi’s location INSIDE the National Park gives you access to great wildlife encounters, exclusive bush camp accommodation and a wide range of safari activities. We always recommend safari lovers visit at least 2 or 3 camps when exploring the vastness of the Kafue but our mission at Mawimbi is to offer you as much of the Kafue experience from one stunning destination!

MAWIMBI is more than a safari…it’s a return to the authentic soul of Africa.

“Mawimbi was one of the most incredible camps I have been to! The set up is wonderful and the services that they provide are excellent. Very friendly staff and lovely setting. I would definitely recommend it for family trips and an escape from everyday busy life.”
– Stephane, April 2020

There are so many new and diverse camps and regions within the Kafue that it can be daunting working out where to go and what to expect. Mawimbi gives you as much of the Kafue as possible from one location by offering the river based activities, an excellent diversity of wildlife and bird species and the classic bush camp accommodation the Kafue is so well known for.

“This is a perfect getaway for those needing to take a break from the city life and have a complete re-charge of ones batteries! Personally we love the bush and this camp fits all our expectations, from the camp itself to the canoeing on the river…hospitality and service very good!”   

– Lindsay Taylor, January 2022

What to expect when visiting the Kafue National Park

When you can spend 10 days in a National Park with no 2 days being the same, you know you are in a special place. That’s what the Kafue can offer. It has incredible animal and birdlife diversity which stems ultimately from the tapestry of habitats that link together through the park. The Southern sector intersperses wide, expansive plains with stunning miombo woodlands and dambos and is home to impressive numbers of lion, cheetah and a variety of antelope, most notable sable, roan, reedbuck and eland. The central region is dominated by the stunning Kafue River and its beautiful riparian woodland and offers both river and land based safari experiences. Venture further north and you will start to get access to the Busanga Plains – another region known for great lion activity and stunning plains vistas.
