Where in Africa shall we go?

A Secluded Sanctuary of Elegance and Wilderness
Nestled along the pristine, tree-laden banks of the Zambezi River within the 56,000-hectare Zambezi National Park, Mpala Jena Camp offers discerning travelers an exclusive blend of refined comfort and untamed African beauty. Positioned approximately 19 kilometers inside the park, the camp provides both seclusion and convenient access to the iconic Victoria Falls, reachable via a scenic 40-minute boat or road transfer.

The camp comprises three expansive suites and two two-bedroom family suites, all under flowing sand-colored canvas with canopy ceilings that open to uninterrupted river vistas. Each suite features a shaded private veranda and en-suite facilities, including indoor showers, separate lavatories, and double basins. A highlight is the outdoor bathroom, boasting a luxurious bathtub and open-air shower, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the natural surroundings.

Culinary experiences at Mpala Jena are thoughtfully curated, with gourmet meals prepared using locally sourced ingredients. The camp's design encourages relaxation, featuring a sand-floored bar area and an adjacent swimming pool that invite guests to unwind after morning game drives or river cruises. The pool lounge, situated right on the river's edge, offers an idyllic setting to enjoy a book or simply take in the serene environment.

Guests can engage in a variety of activities, including professionally guided wildlife viewing in open game drive vehicles, walking safaris, and morning or afternoon boat cruises. The Zambezi National Park is home to a diverse array of wildlife, with higher concentrations of buffalo and elephants observed between June and October. The camp's proximity to Victoria Falls also allows for guided tours of this UNESCO World Heritage site, offering a comprehensive and enriching safari experience.
