KUYENDA
South Luangwa
Kuyenda: Our ViewMany clients travel to Kuyenda simply due to sharing their experience in the Luangwa with Phil Berry, one of the Luangwa’s best guides. He certainly is a massive reason to choose this lodge over others. Leaving his excellent guiding and hospitality aside, Kuyenda is a great little camp and a favourite in the office. Another of the Luangwa’s classic bushcamps, Kuyenda is the home of one of the valleys most famous guides and for that reason alone receives 5 paws. A lovely authentic Luangwa bush camp.

Kuyenda: The DetailKuyenda is built on the banks of the Manzi river, in a remote part of the South Luangwa National Park. There are four very simple reed rondavals (circular chalets), with neat thatch roofs, net-covered panoramic windows, and open-air ensuite bathrooms with bucket showers. Babette Alfieri and Phil Berry, one of the Valley’s original and most experienced guides, are regular hosts here and their outstanding hospitality and knowledge of Zambia make a stay a real treat. the camp sits directly on the banks of the Manzi River in the far-flung reaches of the South Luangwa National Park. Open from 01 June to 31st October, guests can fly into Mfuwe Airport and transfer by road to camp. Combined with the modern luxuries you’d expect at home and the isolated bush, Kuyenda is perfect for the enthusiastic safari traveller. Four en-suite grass and thatch chalets accommodate a total of just 8 guests at a time and offer a more personalised and tranquil stay for a small group or family. Phil Berry is usually at the camp and is an experienced and specialist guide. He is a noted authority on giraffe and leopard and is likeable and passionate about his work. The camp offers dawn walking safaris and both afternoon and night drives on open vehicles. There is an abundance of lagoons in the area providing watering holes and dramatic scenery in which to enjoy game viewing. You may also likeSouth 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.

Run by Remote Africa as part of the infamous Chikoko Walking Trails, Chikoko is a camp that truly fits into its surroundings; this is a stunning little bush camp.

With concrete being a major part of this lodge we find the rooms somewhat uninviting and certainly slightlty un-eco! The location is stunning and the guiding as ever is great.
