About Us
Mpanshya Camp and Trails is an eco-campsite situated in the Flamponje Community Forest Area and is run by the local community. The campsite developed along side a regenerative grazing project taking place in the valleys and hills around the 1300m high Flamponje Mountain. All proceeds go to supporting the community and into securing the integrity of the forest ecosystem.
The surrounding area offers access to biking and hiking trails, mountain climbing, birdwatching and rock-climbing. Fishing on the nearby fishponds and visits to the Mpanshya Communal Herd, a 500+ head cattle herd owned by 45 owners and following a landscape restoration plan, can be arranged.
Situated in Rufunsa District of Zambia and nestled in the Chikwenya valley, home of the seasonal and elusive African Pitta bird, this area offers visitors a unique plunge into one of Lusaka Province’s more remote rural districts. The camp is situated 170 kms or +/- 3hours away from Lusaka, only a few kilometres off the Great East Road. Visit us for a memorable experience!
