Set beneath ancient ebony trees on the banks of the Luangwa River, Time and Tide Mchenja Camp in South Luangwa National Park offers an intimate safari experience unlike any other. The Camp is surrounded by the lush Luangwa Valley and is said to be one of the best places in Africa to admire African elephants, hippos, crocodiles, and buffalo. Furthermore, its prime location means that walking safaris are easy and worthwhile. Further into the bush, leopards and lions roam freely, and are sometimes spotted exploring the Mchenja Camp’s ebony grove. Additionally, the endemic Thornicroft’s giraffe and Cookson’s wildebeest call this area home.

Most wilderness areas in Zambia are closed during the wet season as the country tends to experience severe rainfall during this period. Mchenja Camp is seasonal and opens from May 20 to November 7. The best time for safari-goers to experience the camp is anytime from June to November when wildlife viewing is at its prime. The dry season tends to get hot, with temperatures ranging from the high 20’s to almost 40 degrees Celsius during the day.

A stay at the Mchenja Camp in South Luangwa National Park is truly one of a kind. Time and Tide Mchenja Camp provides an intimate safari experience, with only five luxurious rooms available on-site. Safari enthusiasts staying here can enjoy the tranquil atmosphere of the African bush, while admiring sweeping views of the Luangwa River from the comfort of their tents. Baboons chatter from the ebony branches, while elephants often pop into the camp to explore. As one of Africa’s prime wilderness locations, walking safaris and guided game drives are a must when visiting. The local guides are known for their dedication and passion to the wellbeing of the resident wildlife and the safari-goers experience, and add a personal touch to the safari activity.

Guided game drives offer wildlife viewing from the comfort of a Land Rover, either during the day or at night, which is usually very rewarding. On foot, safari-goers will learn about the intricacies of the National Park’s ecosystem, read tracks, and come across the likes of a yawning hippo or a curious crocodile.
