Accommodation in Zambia: Norman Carr Safaris [High]

  • Fact!: Kakuli is the only bushcamp in Luangwa which is open in the green season from January to March. At this time of year it is accessed by an exciting 2-hour river journey from the park entrance.

Norman Carr was the pioneer of safaris in Zambia and his lodge and bush camps remain amongst the very best in Luangwa. Kapani Lodge is the main property sited just outside the park on a beautiful lagoon over which is a shady viewing platform and al-fresco dining area. Each of the four bush camps is inside the park but two of them (Luwi and Nsolo) are located along the dry Luwi River, Norman's favourite game-viewing and walking safari area in the whole of Zambia. The camps vary from the simple (and arguably perfect) Luwi, to the luxurious Kakuli and Mchenja which are located on the bank of the Luangwa itself.
