Description
This is possibly our favourite campsite so far in western Zambia! It is off the beaten track on the bank of the Kobompo river, across from the west Lunga NP. We chose to camp next to the last chalet (Lion) near the slipway. The other stands are not on the river’s edge but further back under shady trees. In summer they must be lovely. We were allowed to use Lion chalet’ s toilet and shower. The facilities are a little run down but so what. There’s flushing toilets, hot showers and the river is wonderful.
There is friendly staff who can do any camp duties for you like washing clothes, lighting hot water donkeys and general help.
The half day boat trip was an absolute highlight but be aware that park fees will then apply.
The birding is really good! Our first Schalow’s turaco and the fishing was excellent too.
This is the kind of place one could spend a week or more. We really recommend it and hope that it can get more visitors to get back on its feet.
Justings Mubanga runs the place and you can contact him via WhatsApp +260 97 7441567
