It is situated on a lovely quiet stretch of Zambezi River shoreline with a natural spring-line, Mpala Jena, running through the site. This spring-line attracts an abundance of wildlife throughout the year. Pioneers Camp is conveniently located close to Victoria Falls but far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the busy town. There are many activities available to guests such as fishing, canoeing, sunset cruises as well as guided walking along the Mpala Jena springline.

In the park Pioneers Camp offers game drives, bush walking, bird-watching, and ‘river’ activities. Enquire Today
