Situated deep within the relatively unexplored Lower Zambezi National Park directly opposite Chikwenya Island and on the eastern boundary of Mana Pools, lies Mwambashi River Lodge. Mwambashi accommodates 16 guests in large comfortable East African style safari tents built on raised wooden platforms. Each unit has an en-suite shower, toilet and handbasin. The accommodation units are tastefully appointed using vibrant ethnic colours and fabrics and yellow wood furnishings. All have private balconies offering superb private views over the Zambezi River. Mwambashi Lodge is renowned for its fine cuisine and excellent service. Guests enjoy meals including full three-course dinners in a central thatched dining area which leads into a comfortable lounge with a well stocked reference library. Overlooking the River and adjacent to the main complex is a raised balcony which is ideal for enjoying sundowners or simply relaxing or reading during the heat of the day.

Access to Mwambashi River Lodge is normally by air charter directly into the camp's 1000m airstrip from either Livingstone or Lusaka. The alternative is by road and boat with transfers available from Kariba and Lusaka.
