KUTANDALA
North Luangwa
Kutandala: Our ViewThe North Luangwa is regarded by many as the best safari park in Africa; you are guaranteed not to see another person whilst staying here and the game is as natural as it can possibly be. Walking is what this park is all about and Kutandala, for safari enthusiasts, is simply as good as it gets! However Mwaleshi (the other camp up here) is damn good too. We sit on the fence over which camp is better. But we can say that Kutandala is an exceptional lodge, in an exceptional park. Kutandala has to get 5 paws. Very similar to Mwaleshi, Kutandala is one of the finest walking camps in Africa. There really is no advantage to staying at either camp, they are both absolutely superb!

Kutandala: The DetailKutandala is 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 true wilderness. The park is very remote and wild - a place for real bush lovers to visit. The camp owners / hosts, Rod and Guz have worked in the park for years and so know it well and love it. Rod started guiding in the Luangwa Valley in 1989 and Guz is a trained Ballymaloe chef producing faultless cuisine despite the nearest shops being a 7 hour drive. This camp especially caters for clients who are keen walkers but excursions further a field, such as the scenic Chipopma falls, which involves driving are not a problem as there is a game-viewing vehicle. The chalets are made of reed, grass and poles - its rustic, simple but SO beautiful and with a capacity of taking only 6 guests the camp is intimate and natural - exclusivity is guaranteed and you can walk for days without seeing another soul. The guest rooms all have an unrestricted view of the Mwaleshi river and its floodplain - each have an en-suite flush toilet and hot shower and are built entirely of reed and grass. Lighting is by rechargeable solar lanterns and paraffin hurricane lamps. You may also likeNorth Luangwa
Located miles from anywhere, Mwaleshi is one of Africa’s most remote camps - an absolute must for discerning safari enthusiasts. The area is thick with lion which are often met on walking safaris.
Lower Zambezi
What a setting and what a great little camp. Our last consultant here had thirty elephant in camp the day he was leaving and literally had to be picked up by vehicle from his room! Recently a vote in the office put Old Mondoro as one of our favourite adventurous camps in the whole of Africa.
South Luangwa
What a truly exceptional camp! Tafika is one of the remaining owner run camps in Africa with John and Carol ever present. The result is a camp that genuinely cares for each and every one of its guests.
