The Mutu Wa N’gombe Hike
This challenging yet rewarding hike is designed for those seeking a slightly longer and more demanding walk. Here’s what you can expect:
- Day 1: Embark on an 18km journey starting from Musoka Hill Farm in Shimabala. Take in the breathtaking views as you ascend to the campsite, perfectly positioned to overlook the majestic Kafue River.
- Day 2: Loop back to Musoka Hill Farm using an alternative route, offering a fresh perspective on the stunning landscape. If you’ve completed the Naboye Trail, you’ll recognise some familiar terrain, as this hike is an extended version of that trail.
Book your spot on the Mutu Wa N’gomal hike and join us for an unforgettable adventure.
