Overview
About Musekese Camp
Musekese Camp overlooks Eden Lagoon in Kafue National Park, with five tented guest rooms and a close connection to local conservation work. Solar power supplies the camp, while en-suite bathrooms have flushing toilets and hot and cold showers. Lion and leopard are part of the surrounding wildlife, with elephant herds in the dry season and hundreds of bird species recorded nearby. Meals, drinks excluding premium wines, laundry and shared safari activities are included. Guests can also visit the Musekese Conservation Research Base. The camp opens from May through November and welcomes guests aged 14 and over.
“A small, conservation-focused camp for birders and travellers who want time with wildlife, with an intimate tented setting and a choice of shared safari activities.”
