Bilimungwe Bushcamp
Bilimungwe Bushcamp is a cozy camp offering an true safari experience in the knowledgeable hands of an award-winning guide.The heart of camp is the rustic lounge area set beneath a huge winterthorn tree and looking out over a shady waterhole favored by local warthogs, elephant and other thirsty game.
When it comes to wildlife-watching at Bilimungwe, it’s hard to know where to look first – choose from the tangle of mahogany trees surrounding camp, the nearby plain where leopard prowl, the popular waterhole, or the open waters of the Luangwa River. 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.
The lounge and dining area is built on stilts around a large old termite mound under an ancient mahogany tree which provides ample shade from the hot sunshine. Bilimungwe has a secret breakfast spot on the edge of Luangwa Valley which is perfect to watch the sun rise over the Chindeni hills. Bilimungwe sleeps up to eight guests in 4 tents and is open from May to December.
Raised Thatched Rooms
Bilimungwe’s four raised thatched rooms have been carefully designed to ensure the height of comfort while still retaining that authentic bush camp feel. Each tents has 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 which are handmade by local artisans. Bright African textiles bring splashes of color to the elegant rooms. After an early morning game drive, head back to your room for a refreshing, open-air waterfall shower, or continue the wildlife spectacle from your private deck.
