About Musekese Camp

Situated in an area justifiably known as 'Eden', Musekese tented camp is managed by a team with intimate knowledge of, and passion for, the Kafue region. The camp sits nestled on the edge of a flood plain amidst mature, riverine trees and overlooking a permanent lagoon which attracts prolific wildlife year-round. The atmosphere is relaxed and down-to-earth, quite literally, whilst special care has been taken to ensure a comfortable, exciting and highly informative experience.

What you'll love

The passion of the team behind Musekese Camp is palpable and nearly unmatched. This place is pure magic.

Insiders tip

Don't miss a visit to the Musekese Conservation anti-poaching base camp which is a project created and funded by the Classic Zambia team and provides a fantastic insight into the work going into protecting the area.

Something to think about

The bathrooms are open-air, which may mean a few creepy crawlies coming in to join you.

The property

A major part of the camp's appeal lies in its simplicity; guests are made to feel very welcome in this small, intimate and classically styled setting. The sitting area is effectively protected from the elements, providing comfortable shade in which to relax, read one of the library's books, or sit and share safari stories— all with an ice cold drink at hand.

Kafue National Park's vastness and biodiversity is astounding, encompassing beckoning rivers and lakes, sprawling, grassy plains and pockets of forest. Thus, the park is home to herds of elephant, wildebeest and 21 species of antelope, hippo and crocodile, and over 500 species of birdlife. Predators are in full force too, from hunting packs of African painted dog and spotted hyena to lion, leopard and cheetah.
