Kakuli is a small luxurious tented camp located on an elevated section of the Luangwa River’s west bank, at its confluence with a small tributary called the Luwi River. Wildlife visiting the river can be easily spotted from the camp’s central thatched area.
This beautiful 5-bedroomed bush camp consists of large walk-in tents, each with a fan, an en suite bathroom and outdoor shower made from natural materials. A central area for dining and relaxing is a great place to curl up with a book or simply watch the wildlife on the river and wide grazing lawn in front of you. Wildlife-viewing activities here include walking safaris, and both day and night drives, and seasonal boating, with plenty of leopards and resident elephant to be seen around the camp.
A stay here can be combined with its sister camps (Luwi, Nsolo and Mchenja) to create a varied circuit in an area rich in wildlife.
South Luangwa National Park plays host to the world’s highest naturally occurring population of leopard. Venture into their domain on both vehicle and walking safaris in search of this often illusive predator whilst admiring the numerous mammal and bird species that this magnificent park has to offer.
