Enjoying an elevated position, well above the flood lines on the banks of the Luangwa River, Kakuli has spectacular views and is one of the few bush camps open for Zambia’s green safari season.
Kakuli has four simple and traditional walk-in safari tents each with en-suite facilities constructed of thatch and reed. A two-bedroom family unit is also available. There is a basin, separate flush WC and large shower with hot and cold running water. The front of the tent can be completely opened up offering lovely views of the river from the comfort of your bed or the veranda. Sandy walkways link the tents to the central camp area, also constructed of reed and thatch and set on a raised deck. Consisting of a bar and dining/lounge area this is the perfect spot to relax overlooking the grazing lagoon as wildlife meanders past.
It is an exciting base for walking and game drives in the dry season, and is Norman Carr’s only camp open in the heart of the Park between 20 Jan – 5 April, for boating and walking.
