Mpala Jena

Feb 2

Mpala Jena is located on a private concession within the Zambezi National Park. The camp is named after the natural spring line, Mpala Jena, which runs through the centre of the concession, and which attracts an abundance of wildlife throughout the year, particularly during the drier months.

Mpala Jena overlooks a beautiful stretch of the Zambezi River shoreline. There are three guest tents and two family tents, all positioned under the dappled shade of a mixture of indigenous trees, including Kigelia Africana (sausage tree), Lonchocarpus capassa (rain tree), and Syzygium cordatum (water berry tree).

Mpala Jena offers professionally guided wildlife viewing in open safari vehicles, guided walks, and morning or afternoon boat cruises (water level dependent/seasonally). The camp has custom-built Land Cruisers, and the vehicles are fully stocked with reference books, drinks, and snacks. In addition, guests should take the opportunity to enjoy an excursion into Victoria Falls town, including a visit to the thunderous and impressive mass of falling water of the actual Victoria Falls. A half-day guided tour of Victoria Falls is included for guests staying two or more nights.

The three tented guest suites are located on the banks of the Zambezi River, with views of the river frontage. Each suite has en-suite bathroom facilities, an indoor shower, a separate loo, and double basins. Decking in front of the tent leads to views of the calming and peaceful flowing waters of the Zambezi River.
