“Friendly owners & relaxing atmosphere”

The owners are friendly, the vibe is relaxed, and the food and drinks are good.

“Wonderful place!”

I really enjoyed staying at Muzanga Camp; it’s the ideal spot for a quick stop in Mfuwe. Everyone from the hosts to the staff was super friendly, the whole camp is nicely built with beautiful, well‑equipped tents, a cozy restaurant serving great food, and a small, refreshing pool under a giant baobab tree. The camp also supports the local community, which is an extra reason to stay.

“Extraordinary”

Above all, we loved the hosts and the staff; they’ve created something truly extraordinary. We felt at home instantly, and the love, joy, and hard work poured into the place is palpable, especially the care for the local community. The tent was lovely and the bathroom facilities were close by. The big baobab tree around which the camp is centered felt special. The kitchen is the best ever, with a good selection of dishes. A short drive takes you to Luangwa National Park. Make sure to book tours through Muzanga. I really hope to return someday, because none of our travels before have matched this place.

We loved the place and its concept (an NGO that uses the money to develop the local population), a perfect spot after a long flight, and everyone took care of us. The tents were spacious and the food amazing! The shared toilets were clean and close to our tents. We’ll definitely come back! The only downside was that we could only stay one night.

“Nice place in some ways”

Nice people work here, both the staff and the owner. They donate all profits to the local community, which makes guests feel good about staying. The tent is big, clean, well set up, and there’s plenty of space and privacy around. But our room was called “Luxury Tent” and it wasn’t luxurious because there’s no toilet in the tent – you have to walk about 50 steps – and the shower is a metal tub that makes a super‑loud sound when you shower. The location is really in the middle of nowhere, not close to the small city center near the park entrance (about a 20–30 minute drive). Our main issue was their financial policies: a) the tent cost $108 US; for that price you’d expect an indoor toilet and a better location. b) They add a 3% credit card fee (common in Southern Africa, so we didn’t mind), but then use an exchange rate of 20 Kwacha to the US dollar, whereas the correct rate today was 19 Kwacha per dollar, so they’re taking an extra 5% fee. c) I asked for an afternoon game drive before we arrived. Our 4x4 broke down and we got there late. They told me we had to pay for the drive, which was $105 US per person (plus the $25 park entrance fee). I said that wasn’t fair and they quickly said we should pay 50% of the cost. After some back and forth, we agreed I would pay 25% of the cost as a penalty. I have no problem with that, but I think they should state when you ask for a game drive that you can’t cancel same‑day or you have to pay a penalty. (I had sent a message about three hours before the drive letting them know our vehicle was broken.) Also, in the several messages we sent each other before arrival they never mentioned the game drive price. We stayed another night in a different, real luxury resort on the river right next to the park entrance and their game drive was $75 for a 4‑hour afternoon drive. AI says the average price for a game drive in the park is $60–75. That’s a huge difference from the $105 they charge.
