Musekese is a small, authentic bush camp set overlooking a seasonal lagoon close to the Kafue River in the exclusive north-east section of Kafue National Park.
Musekese Camp has a lovely location overlooking a lagoon (which dries up towards the end of the dry season and often has game grazing around it) close to the Kafue River. The camp is owned and run by professional guides Phil Jeffery and Tyrone McKeith, and is one of the few camps left in Africa that is genuinely owner run and on the most part, owner guided. Phil and Tyrone are both full of enthusiasm, and they offer a very personal hosted experience as well as super guiding. The accommodation is comfortable but fairly simple and adventurous, with open fronted chalets, and the emphasis of the camp is more about the close to nature wilderness experience and exclusive game viewing activities. This camp is ideal for guests who have been on safari before and love small, quiet bush camps in the middle of the bush, with personal hosting, great guiding, varied activities and some slightly more specialist game viewing. Although it is not essential that guests are keen to walk, we feel that walking is an integral part of a stay at Musekese.
