Renowned for some of the best wildlife viewing in Zambia
Location
Tucked high above the Luangwa River, Kakuli offers sweeping views over the waterway and the wildlife that gathers there. It’s a peaceful, almost hidden spot where you can watch elephants, hippos, and birds go about their day, all from the comfort of your camp.
Rooms
The camp has just five light-filled safari rooms, including a family option with two bedrooms and bathrooms. Each room is thoughtfully designed to maximise those incredible river views, with feather-top beds, indoor and outdoor showers, and a private, covered seating area.
Amenities
The main lounge, perched above the riverbank, is the perfect spot to unwind with a drink while watching the wildlife below. There’s also a hide right under the camp where you can get closer to the action, making every moment feel intimate and special.
Activities
You’ll have plenty of ways to explore from Kakuli. Whether on game drives or walking safaris, the area is rich with wildlife. Guests particularly enjoy sightings of the resident lion pride and the vibrant carmine bee-eaters that nest nearby. And with some of the best leopard encounters in the park, your safari here promises memorable moments around every corner.
Sustainability
The camp runs on solar power, helping to keep its footprint light on the land. Beyond that, the team supports a range of community projects nearby. Through the Time + Tide Foundation, they invest in education, healthcare, and women's empowerment, aiming to uplift local populations and create lasting positive change.
