Mwaleshi Camp, an enigmatic walking camp, accommodates 6 to 8 guests within the remote North Luangwa National Park.
Situated on a scenic bend of the Mwaleshi River ten kilometers from the Luangwa confluence, this is a place of peace and simplicity, contrasted with stunning wildlife action.
One might experience the excitement of watching hyenas hunting puku in front of camp, observing huge herds of buffalo, or watching the endemic Cookson's wildebeest on foot.
Mwaleshi is a grass pole bush camp which accommodates up to eight guests in four thatched reed chalets. The four chalets are hand built and finished with local reeds in hues of orange and gold in harmony with their surroundings.
The walls at Mwaleshi Camp are built only half way up and are then open to the ceiling, giving that inside/outside feel. The chalets contain large comfortable beds and en-suite flush toilets but no running water, which is provided in jugs for use in hand basins. There are two shared use showers with views across the river and if you have never tried an outdoor shower, you will love the feeling.
