Twelve single-room thatched rest huts accommodate four people each. This section of the camp is self catering and guests prepare their own food in a central kitchen.
Communal ablution blocks are situated close by. Mpila also has two self-contained 3-bedroomed cottages, each accommodating six people, with a cook on hand to prepare food supplied by guests.
