NORTH LUANGWA NATIONAL PARK

One of the most remote and pristine wilderness experiences in Africa, the North Luangwa National Park is a secluded bush paradise. This park is about half the size of the South Luangwa National Park, yet is completely undeveloped and pristine. There are a limited number of roads and access to the park is restricted. The park has the same kind of animal and birdlife as its southern counterpart, but is especially known for buffalo herds and attendant lions. Due to an increase in conservation efforts, wildlife numbers are steadily increasing.

The beauty of visiting this park is the truly remarkable opportunities to experience Africa as it was. It is wild and untouched and you are simply an unobtrusive witness to its natural beauty and drama.

Walking safaris in the North Luangwa are deemed to be an unparalleled wilderness experience. There are very few roads and your unlikely to see anyone else for the duration of your trip.

Kutandala Camp

A maximum of six guests can be accommodated at any one time. The recommended length of stay is five days to a week. 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. Link to Camp web site.
