Mabuya Camp is Lilongwe’s premier backpackers lodge and campsite. Having been in existence for nearly a decade, this campsite and backpackers’ haven used to be owned by Kiboko safaris. It’s now run by an English couple called Tom and Janey who, after travelling the continent for over a decade and visiting more than twenty-five African countries, decided to settle here in the “Warm Heart of Africa”.

The campsite is the perfect place to unwind after that long bus journey from Lusaka, or for picking up that safari tour around Malawi or to Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park. We have hot showers, cold beer, yummy food and a gorgeous swimming pool, what more do you need? Well, how about an internet cafe with wireless internet, home-made smoothies, a fantastic book exchange, and of course, all the maps, guidebooks and advice you need to plan your ownard journey – whether you need to know about cocktails in cape town or camping in congo, we can help!
