Mpala Jena

Mpala Jena Camp is a luxurious tented camp in a private concession within Zambezi National Park, overlooking a stunning stretch of the Zambezi River and shaded by indigenous trees. Located 16 kilometres inside the park, it offers easy access to Victoria Falls' adrenaline activities while providing a tranquil safari atmosphere away from the crowds. With only five guest tents, each with river views and Moroccan-inspired decor, the camp ensures an intimate experience.

Architects Craig Hayman and Hannah Charlton, along with interior designer Tracy Kelly, have crafted a sanctuary that embodies "Barefoot Luxury" at its finest. Situated on the white sandy banks of Zimbabwe’s Zambezi River within Zambezi National Park, Mpala Jena combines natural elements with elegance. The main areas feature thatched roofs, while the bedrooms are luxurious canvas tents. The bar area, with its sand floor, and the adjacent swimming pool, invite guests to kick off their shoes and unwind after a morning safari or river cruise. The pool lounge, overlooking the river, is perfect for relaxing with a book during the day's heat. Mpala Jena is a top choice for those seeking luxury accommodation near Victoria Falls.

Mpala Jena offers guided wildlife viewing, walks, boat cruises, and fishing. Guests can visit Victoria Falls for a tour and enjoy various activities, from white-water rafting to cultural tours. Zambezi National Park, covering 56,000 hectares, features diverse habitats and wildlife, including elephants, lions, and 400 bird species.

Mpala Jena Camp is environmentally innovative, using recycled hardwoods and canvas, and relying entirely on solar power for electricity.
