Mpala Jena is a small safari camp positioned along the banks of the Zambezi River in Zimbabwe. Located just 16 kilometres inside the Zambezi National Park, staying here offers you the best of both worlds with excellent access to the park and Victoria Falls town, where many adventurous activities are on offer, including taking in the waterfall.
The three tented one-bedroom guest suites and two two-bedroom family suites are nestled in the shade of large Sausage and Jackalberry trees on the banks of the Zambezi River. Each suite has en-suite bathroom facilities, an indoor shower, a separate loo and double basins.
The Zambezi National Park is home to an ever-increasing number of wildlife species, and birding is spectacular all year round. Catch-and-release fishing is a popular activity.
About This Area
Victoria Falls is where the Zambezi River drops 100m into a narrow gorge, known as Mosi-oa-Tunya, "The Smoke That Thunders" in the local dialect. The falls sit on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. It is one of the world's largest waterfalls, with a width of 1,708 m (5,604 ft), offering a rich habitat for several unique species of plants and animals. "Scenes so lovely must have been gazed upon by Angels in their flight" is the often-quoted note that David Livingstone made when he first saw this breathtaking waterfall.
Victoria Falls is a small town on the southern side of the falls in Zimbabwe, just across the river from the Zambian town of Livingstone; it is a crossroads for travellers who can participate in many adventurous activities while marvelling at the waterfall. These include sightseeing flights over the falls, canoeing, or rafting down the Zambezi on one of the world's most challenging stretches of white water.
