About This Property
Bilimungwe is a small, rustic camp on the shady banks of the Luangwa River, in a little-visited corner of South Luangwa National Park. Grassy floodplains packed with game spread out in front.
We walk at dawn and at sunset, or on foot to a neighbouring camp, and drive for lion, buffalo, leopard, elephant, wild dog and an endless list of birds.
Why We Love It
We love the big wooden deck over three busy waterholes, binoculars in hand, and riverside barbecues round the fire. The staff are warm and attentive.
Rooms & Details
Standard Room
Four reed-and-thatch chalets, two with king beds and two with queens. Each has an open-air waterfall shower, a flush loo, twin basins and a shady veranda over the floodplain.
Main Areas
A solar-powered camp with a bar, laundry and a wooden deck over the waterholes. Meals are in a thatched dining area: buffet lunches, three-course dinners and afternoon tea with homemade biscuits.
