WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE?

Conservation

Conservation is key for responsible tourism and is a huge part of what we do in Kafue National Park. At Mukambi we work closely with several NGOs, including Panthera and Zambia Carnivore Programme (ZCP), and the Department of National Parks and Wildlife and African Parks where we support anti-poaching and other conservation goals. The Zambian Carnivore Programme (ZCP) is a non-profit Zambian registered organization dedicated to the protection of Zambia’s large carnivores and their ecosystems.

Family

A family-run lodge, Edjan, Robyn and their daughters have been dedicated to making a difference for the park and local communities since embarking on their Mukambi adventure twenty years ago.

Community

Community is at the core of Mukambi. In the remote area of Kafue National Park, Mukambi Community School provides a high standard of education to over 80 local children and permanently employs 5 community teachers and 5 government teachers. Plus there are a number of other community projects making a difference.

Environment

Mukambi recognises the importance of responsible tourism. All three camps run 100% off renewable solar energy with Mukambi Safari Lodge being one of the first in Zambia to install eco-friendly battery technology LiFePO4. We also constantly strive to be plastic free.
