Zambezi River, Zambia
Seclusion in the Wild East
Zambia has long been celebrated as one of Africa's premier safari destinations, beloved for its exceptional wildlife and immersive guided walking safaris. However, Ker & Downey Zambia has ventured even further into the remote, quieter eastern sector of the Lower Zambezi National Park to establish Musesenji.
As the most easterly camp in the park, it offers an entirely secluded wilderness experience. You can say goodbye to crowded vehicle tracks and hello to uninterrupted views of a landscape teeming with life. Getting there is seamless. Located just minutes from the Kulefu Airstrip, the camp utilises its own aircraft to effortlessly connect guests with sister properties, such as King Lewanika Lodge in the Liuwa Plain. It makes a multi-stop Zambian itinerary incredibly smooth.
Intimate Luxury, Conscious Design
Musesenji River Camp is intentionally intimate, hosting only 14 guests at any given time to ensure a highly tailored, nature-focused stay. The boutique accommodation includes five elegantly appointed Luxury Safari Tents tailored for couples or solo adventurers, as well as a magnificent Family Luxury Safari Suite for those sharing the journey with loved ones. Inside your private sanctuary, every comfort has been meticulously designed to elevate your wilderness experience:
Private plunge pool included with every single tent to cool off with a sundowner while watching elephants wade across the river below
Full air-conditioning in all tented rooms to ensure complete comfort throughout the entire safari season
