This is a paradise for the adventurous self drive tourist appreciating an abundance of wildlife, adore fishing with stunning views from their chalet. Get a true bush camp experience with your own twist and your own car or hire a gamedrive car with or without a guide.

The two bush styled cottages are overlooking the Luangwa River. Cottages offer you a luxury beds for four (or two), shower, sink, toilet and a side room. In total, we can accommodate 8 guests. The cottages are about 50 mtrs from each other and you will find an outside shared and thatched kitchen with freezer and kitchen facilities. Lights are on solar.

The area is full of wildlife. You will see hippo's and crocs from your cottage in the river and many other animals (like elephants, giraffes, pukus, impala, bushbuck, waterbuck) nearby. The entrance of the South Luangwa Park is not far, but you will enjoy wildlife as much in the Park as you will around you.

Note: If required, we can arrange car-hire (also open gamedrive car), transport with driver/guide, safari drives, safari walks, food/drink supplies, cook or a guide for you with third party providers. Please contact us.

If you are looking for the true African bush experience, Malama Umoyo is the place! Also look at our website for more detailed information.

Note: Prices are per cottage per night (2p), so NOT per person per night (which is usual in safari business).
