We arrived at Myukuyuku Bush Camp at around 2:00 pm after a five hour drive on the spinal road which hugs the shores of Lake Itezhi Tezhi and the Kafue River. We had stayed here before in 2019 and really enjoyed it so we thought it would be a good introduction for Kristina and Lucy to semi-roughing it in the wilds of Africa.
Our pitch was on the banks of the Kafue River. There are only three sites with river views and we lucked out and had the best site in the area to ourselves for our first three nights.
The river was very low for this time of year but we were still entertained by the local hippos and had frequent visits from several Bush Buck and the ever present Vervet monkeys.
The camp had clean ablutions and hot showers and even a small bar/restaurant a short walk away.
We did do an early morning game drive on our third day but unfortunately the area was quiet so not much to report.
After four nights of great camping and open fire cooking we departed the camp on the 22nd and made our way to Lusaka.
