The traditions of the African bushcamp meet elegance and style to create a stunning camp that feels like it has grown organically out of the surrounding landscape. Set beneath a huge mahogany tree, the heart of Bilimungwe is the cool, shady lounge area that looks out over one of the camp’s three waterholes. Settle down in a cozy armchair with a sundowner and relax as you watch an enviable display of spectacular birds and animals that clearly feel as comfortable here as you do. With the open waters of the Luangwa River also on your doorstep and a nearby plain where leopard prowl, it’s clear that this is a nature-lover’s paradise, and with Manda Chisanga – Bilimungwe’s award-winning resident guide – to lead you, you could not be in better hands.
Bilimungwe can only be booked on an exclusive use basis with a minimum of 6 guests. Ideal for a small friends and family group travelling together.

Information
Bilimungwe’s four raised thatched rooms have been carefully designed to ensure the height of comfort whilst still retaining that authentic bushcamp feel, each with magnificent views of one or two of the three watering holes. The tangle of mature mahogany trees that surround camp are echoed in the rich, wood interiors and the beautiful wooden furniture, handmade by local artisans. Bright African textiles bring splashes of colour to the elegant rooms.
Room features include:
En-suite with indoor & outdoor showers, twin wash basins and toilet
Fans
Solar lighting
Bed arrangements, with beds that can either be separated into twins, or put together to be made up as an imperial kin
Situated overlooking 3 waterholes (one with a private view), there is never a shortage of game to watch.
The breakfast boma on the banks of the Luangwa River provides a spectacular sunrise view of the river and the hills beyond.
The star deck stretching out over the plain in front of camp provides stunning views of the night sky.
