Accommodation is either full board or all inclusive with activities and park fees included. As Mayukuyuku (meaning ‘water hitting rocks’)

is so small, wildlife often passes right though the camp. Guides are highly trained in all aspects. There is also a small campsite a short distance from the main camp. This camp is situated right in the park, not in the game managed area. There is no single supplement.
McBrides’ Camp is located in one of the last true wilderness areas of Zambia, at the confluence of the Mushingashi and Kafue rivers. Cleverly built around established wildlife paths, the camp is regularly visited by animals such as elephant, hippo and lion. The camp managers, Chris and Charlotte McBride, have spent many years in the bush and are passionate about wildlife. Chris has written several distinguished books about lions. The camp specialises in walking safaris and river trips by boat. Chris and Charlotte accompany guests and share their knowledge of the flora and fauna. Accommodation consists
of eight private thatched two-person chalets with en-suite bathrooms. Each chalet has a unique view, either of the river or the bush.
