The Luangwa Valley is one of Africa’s prime wildlife sanctuaries, with a variety and concentration of game and birdlife that have made it world famous. This is the landscape of the ‘Real Africa’, with herds of antelope sheltering under thorn trees, or roaming the plains, predators skulking in the shadows and primordial drama in every vale. Kakuli Bush Camp is set on the confluence of the Luwi and Luangwa rivers. The camp's main chitenge overlooks a large floodplain and the Luangwa river. There are three other walking bushcamps: Luwi, Nsolo and Mchenja, and the permanent camp at Kapani Lodge.
WILDLIFE SAFARIS
Game viewing is in open 4 wheel drive vehicles or on foot, with activities being tailored around your requirements. Game viewing is exceptionally good during the dry winter months of June through October. Sightings of lion and leopard are common. Puku, while not widely distributed in Africa, are common in the Luangwa. With over 400 resident species, the Luangwa is a wonderful place to see birds at any time of the year. However, during the wet months, from November to March, many migrants arrive and the Luangwa becomes a Mecca for birders.
Kakuli and the other three bush camps all specialize in walking safaris. They are only open from June until November. The camps are close enough together to enable you to walk from camp to camp in just a few hours.
