Kutandala Camp

Set on a stunning site on the banks of the Mwaleshi River in the heart of the North Luangwa National Park, Kutandala Camp offers the ultimate safari for those who seek truly remote wilderness. Whether you want to track large mammals from Elephant to the endemic Cookson's Wildebeest, or identify some of the three hundred and fifty bird species recorded - on safari at Kutandala you will be in the company of people who know and love this area. With a capacity for only six guests, exclusivity is guaranteed and you can drive or walk for days and not meet another soul.

Kutandala is Zambia's smallest owner-operated camp, catering for only six guests on each safari. The guest rooms are spread out along the river bank, giving ample space and privacy, and each has an en-suite bathroom with a flush loo and hot shower. All the rooms have an unrestricted view of the Mwaleshi River and its flood plain throughout the day.

The dining area, bar and library are under the shade of a huge Natal Mahogany, deliberately and delightfully low key. There are iced drinks, but thankfully no generator, and therefore no noise - lighting is provided by rechargeable solar lanterns and hurricane lamps.

With such small groups at any one time, exclusivity and flexibility is the key, with every safari tailored to the interests of the guests. Safaris at Kutandala are primarily undertaken on foot, the classic way to appreciate Africa's wildlife. Walking from camp is always fascinating due to the abundance of game, a myriad of bird species (over 350 recorded), and the natural beauty of the area.
