Mpala Jena Camp

SAFARI WITH YOUR FEET IN THE SAND

Set on the sandy banks of the Zambezi, not far from the famous Victoria Falls, Mpala Jena embodies relaxed, intimate luxury. The camp's architects have created a haven of peace that blends seamlessly into the Zambian wilderness, featuring thatched communal areas and 6 canvas tents with fluid lines. The refined interiors combine stone and wood in beige and sage green tones, creating a soothing, nature-inspired atmosphere. Promising deep relaxation, all the suites boast a private shaded veranda and an outdoor bathtub. Everywhere, the unobstructed view of the Zambezi's waters invites guests to watch the peaceful flow of the river and forget the hustle and bustle of the city. The sand-set bar area and the camp's outdoor swimming pool also offer the ideal setting to unwind after a morning game drive or a river cruise. Guests at Mpala Jena enjoy a fine selection of activities: open 4x4 game drives, guided walks in the national park, excursions in flat-bottomed boats or traditional dhows, visits to the spectacular Victoria Falls, fishing, birdwatching and more. It is the perfect way to fully immerse oneself in the diverse species and landscapes of the Zambezi.
