Livezi Bush Camp

Tucked away inside Nkhotakota, Livezi Bush Camp offers a perfect escape close to nature with optimal tranquillity and stunning views of the miombo woodland.

Welcome to Livezi Bush Camp

Livezi Bush Camp, run by the reserve, lies on the quiet and cool banks of the Livezi River. It is surrounded by the miombo woodlands that are a feature of Nkhotakota and the sound of the Bua River is a constant soothing backdrop. Four tents of canvas and stone and a thatched central area overlook the river.

This self-catering camp provides a spacious kitchen, bar and dining space and barbecue area – or food can be ordered from the Mphatso Restaurant.

From here you can join the many activities that Nkhotakota offers.
