Please also quote: Malama Umoyo Camp in the Malama Chiefdom (40km south west from Mfuwe, at the Luangwa River bank and close to Lusangazi SLNP gate). We have no website but email on [email protected] and I will send all details.
Malama Umoyo is specially for 4x4 tourists who like a break on a stunning place with a good bed, shower, braai, freezer and kitchen facilities. Be independent, bring your own food and drinks. The rest you can find at Malama Umoyo.

After reading the list, I miss some lodges in Mfuwe:
Thornicroft Lodge (www.thornicroft-lodge.com)
Track & Trail (www.trackandtrailrivercamp.com)
Marula Lodge (www.marulalodgezambia.com)

[Menno]

For all members:
Please look on http://www.safari-portal.de/start.e.html and you will find a site with loads of info you might need about available lodges and camps in Africa.

Here is another one that very few people know about: Kariba Bush Club, situated on Zambia's Largest Nile Crocodile Conservancy on the Shores of Lake Kariba. The Lodge is in Siansowa which is +- 330km's from Livingstone and 380km's from Lusaka. Visit the our website for more information : www.karibabushclub.com.

Do not forget the most wonderful Kasabushi camp in South Kafue NP.
The owners created an awesome and imaginative place easily reachable
on the good spinal road from the gate 21 km turn-off on highway M9.
The facilities are simply superb.

I'm struggling to find the official page for Kapishya Lodge and Buffalo Camp for bookings. Closest I get from google is links to operators and zambian tourism and Shiwa Ngandu Estate. It turns out from my many emails that in fact Shiwa Ngandu estate is operated seperately (hunting accomodation only - run by Charlie Harvey) from Kapishya and Buffalo (run my Mark Harvey).
Anyone able to assist? Thank you

[ortelius]

Buffalo Camp (NLNP) was permanently closed a while ago. It does not exist/operate anymore. And yes, Mark Harwey's Kapishya website https://www.shiwasafaris.com is currently broken. But he is still very active on Facebook under the profile "Kapishya Hot Springs & Buffalo camp". Maybe try to contact them there.

The link takes me to maunselfdrive4x4.com with no obvious way to get to any maps.

How is the old Petauke road now? I recall a conversation at Bridge Camp where a local (who knew the area) took 3 days to get to Mfuwe from Petauke; the road had been very slow.

In Nov 2021 we drove the Petauke road, Bridge Camp to Wildlife Camp, in a not to streneous day. I think the conditions change a lot seasonally, so earlier in the year that may not be the case. The closer you get to Mfuwe the better it gets.
