Bilimungwe Safari Camp
Bilimungwe
is in the heart of the National Park and offers a traditional safari
experience in comfortable and traditional surroundings.
Most of the walks and drives are done along the Kapamba River, which has
excellent game and is very good easy walking. The camp's main feature is
a small waterhole near the dining room which attracts lots of game. Last
year we had a pride of nine lion try take down a giraffe in front of the
campsite; an incredibly rare and awe-inspiring sight!
Location:
Bilimungwe
Bushcamp is about 50 metres from the Luangwa River, and is nestled in a
grove of ebony trees. Within easy range of
Chindeni and
Kapamba, Bilimungwe is a popular
choice for those guests that wish to walk between different camps. The
southern area of the National Park also complements this characteristic,
with fantastic wildlife opportunities.
Accommodation:
The
camp consists of four reed and thatch chalets with en-suite shower,
toilet and double vanities. Each chalet has two queen-sized beds with
large mosquito nets and an individual re-chargeable lighting system. The
optimum number of guests at Bilimungwe is six, however, we can
accommodate eight if all in one group.
The camp has an on-site generator that is only used when guests have
departed for safari. It is then switched off before their return so
as not to interfere with the ambience.
The rustic dining area and fully stocked bar are constructed on
raised decking with views of Bilimungwe’s permanent water hole and
the abundant game that it attracts. The thatched canopy provides a
cool and comfortable environment in which to enjoy this idyllic
setting.
Activities:
Enjoy
sundowners whilst splashing in the clear shallow waters of the Kapamba
River. Bilimungwe is close to the confluence of the Luangwa and Kapamba,
and with water on all sides, walking is particularly attractive in the
riverine habitats. Game drives are on offer, but are limited due to the
ill supply of quality roads!
