Zambezi Mubala Campsite is a self-drive campsite on the Zambezi River, part of the Mubala Camp complex around 30km from Katima Mulilo. It is a separate, camping-focused product from the nearby Zambezi Mubala Lodge, aimed at travellers carrying their own tents.
Location and Zambezi access
The campsite sits on the Zambezi around 30km from Katima Mulilo, a riverside spot for overlanders and self-drive travellers wanting to pitch beside the water rather than book a room, with the town within reach for supplies. It shares the Mubala Camp setting with the lodge of the same name but is a distinct, camping-only product with its own listing, so campers are not paying for lodge rooms they will not use.
Accommodation and facilities
Pitches are booked on a per-pitch basis for a basic camp site where you bring your own tent, and each site has a private bathroom, which is a real comfort on a long overland trip. Campers can use the pool, the restaurant, free WiFi, free parking and a barbecue area, so the setup is more equipped than a bare-bones bush camp while keeping the price low.
Who this property may suit
This campsite suits self-sufficient overlanders and self-drive travellers with their own camping gear who want a riverside pitch on the Zambezi with proper ablutions and a pool, at a fraction of the cost of a lodge room.
Planning your Zambezi stay
It pairs well with a longer self-drive through the Zambezi Region, offering an affordable riverside night under canvas. Check current availability for Zambezi Mubala Campsite on Booking.com.
