Zambia :: Luangwa Basin
:: Chipata
Category:
Camping :: Lodge Camp
Mama Rula's B&B and Campsite is situated 6 km out of Chipata on the Mfuwe Road and is the ideal stopover between Lusaka, South Luangwa and Malawi. The large campsite has lush green lawns under large African mahogany trees and excellent ablution facilities. They do cater for overlanders but private campers can camp separately from the big groups. Facilities include a swimming pool and bar. They also offer seven comfortable en-suite rooms with DSTV, surrounded by beautiful gardens. They serve meals with vegetables freshly picked from their own garden and excellent T-Bone steaks. The water from their borehole is not in such good quality that they are going to start bottling it. The owners also run the Spar in Chipata.
