Kulandila Camp

Our View

Kulandila Camp is in an excellent wildlife viewing location in the mighty South Luangwa National Park, and as one of the park’s most southerly lodges, it avoids most of the crowds. Old school luxury is the name of the game here: being close to nature, reclining in an outdoor bath, and enjoying an al-fresco meal under the stars. Tents are spacious, and with only four, a truly personalised and exclusive experience is guaranteed.

Kulandila Camp - The Details

Set on the banks of the hippo-heavy Luangwa River and backing onto a lagoon, Kulandila’s location is second to none. While most camps require travel to enjoy the river scenes, here they’re just on your doorstep. Outside camp, activities include all the usual: game drives, walking safaris, and full day adventures around the park on request. Animals here are world-class, with a famously dense population of leopards, elephants, hippos, buffalo, and also healthy prides of lions.

Kulandila champions authentic safari luxury: while there is a pool to cool off in, this camp is not about all the modern modcons and fancy stuff. It maintains the atmosphere of a Zambian bush camp, with wooden walls, a simple on-the-ground fire pit, and dining under the stars. The under canvas experience here is elevated by the proximity to the Luangwa River, and guests might well hear grunting hippos into the night.

Saying that though, comfort is a priority here too, and guests will not be left lacking, with a cosy living area, inviting bar, and private verandas to admire the surrounding bush. The outdoor bath is another added luxury, reminding you of this camp’s calibre.

Food-wise, lunch is a buffet of salads, homemade bread and meats. Due to its small guest count, the camp can also experiment with fire cooking for dinners too, giving a special culinary experience as well as a wildlife one.

Most importantly, this camp is set well away from the main South Luangwa entrance, so isn’t impacted by the popularity of the park. It’s a 3 hour drive away from Mfuwe International Airport, but guests can also fly into a nearby airstrip if they prefer.
