The ultimate safari experience set on the banks of the Mwaleshi River in the heart of the North Luangwa National Park. With just six thatched rooms, Kutandala offers intimate and immediate interaction with the African wilderness.

Kutandala is Zambia’s smallest owner-managed camp, set on the banks of the Mwaleshi River in the heart of the North Luangwa National Park. The camp offers the ultimate safari for those seeking a pure and remote wilderness experience. Whether you want to track large mammals, from elephant to the endemic Cookson’s wildebeest, or identify some of the 350 bird species recorded, at Kutandala you will be in the company of people who know and love this area.

Rod and Guz, the owners, care passionately about what they do and about the restoration work which has brought the North Luangwa back from the brink. In camp, Guz manages, against incredible logistical odds, to produce meals of the highest quality and variety. Rod is an outstanding guide and his depth of knowledge and enthusiasm for all things ecological means that the guiding experience is always informative and fresh.

With a capacity for only six guests, privacy is guaranteed and one can enjoy guided walks and drives for days without meeting another soul. Guest rooms are spread out along the riverbank with unrestricted views of the Mwaleshi River and its floodplain. Each room has an en-suite bathroom with a flush loo and hot shower. The dining area, bar and library are set under the shade of a huge Natal mahogany tree. The library is extremely comprehensive with over 250 titles relating to Zambia and the natural history of the area.
