Mchenja, meaning "ebony", occupies a stunning setting beneath a magnificent grove of ebony trees on the banks of the Luangwa River.

Mchenja is a luxurious, elegant and stylish tented camp overlooking a huge sweeping bend in the Luangwa.

Each of the five specially designed octagonal tents has their own private en-suite open air bathroom plus Victorian style baths with river views.

The beautiful central Chitenje (lounge) is built around one of the old fallen Mchenja (ebony) trees and guests can cool off there in the camp’s plunge pool.

Brunch is taken in the shady lounge but dinner is more often served on the riverbank under the stars.
