Kakuli Camp

PLAN MY TRIP

Located on an elevated perch above the floodplains of South Luangwa National Park, Kakuli Camp is an intimate and comfortable safari camp and one of the few to be open between January and April.

A seasonal camp, accommodations consist of five lovely riverside tents including one family tent. Each thatched roof and canvas tent has real doors, but the front can be opened so guests can enjoy stunning views of the bush from the comfort of their bed. The en suite bathroom features a sink, a large shower, plenty of hot and cold running water, and a flush toilet. A private, shaded veranda is the ideal spot to relax into a comfortable chair and take in the scenery and wildlife.

The camp overlooks the Luangwa River in South Luangwa National Park, a world-famous wildlife haven. The Muchinga Escarpment forms the park’s western and northwestern boundaries, sloping steeply down to the river from the west side. The river valley, continued to the west by the Lunsemfwa River valley, forms a natural barrier, and to this day there are no man-made roads spanning the valley. The Park enjoys a dense animal population including Impalas, pukus, waterbucks, giraffes, and buffaloes grazing on the plains. A high number of leopards stalk the dense woodlands, while herds of elephant wade through the marshes and hippos play in the Luangwa River. There are about 400 bird species recorded in the Park.

During the rainy season in January through early April, game viewing activities are accessed via boat or walking. This is the best time of year for bird watchers as over 500 birds have been recorded flocking to the swelling river shores during this time. From May to October, daily game drives explore the park in a traditional 4×4 safari vehicle and the expertise of a guide and tracker. This is great way to view the big game animals as well as the resurgence of wild dog to the region. Walking safaris with an armed guide and knowledgeable guide provide a closer and more intimate look at the local plants and smaller animals.

The main camp’s central area houses a thatched dining room, bar, and lounge. A raised wooden deck provides excellent views of the river and bush as well as a firepit and chairs for nightly gatherings with a cocktail and a story. The camp’s open design lets the animals have free reign to pass through. An environmentally-friendly camp, the property runs on solar power.
