Kutandala Camp is a remote safari camp located deep within Zambia’s North Luangwa National Park, nestled along the banks of the Mwaleshi River. With only five en-suite guest tents, the camp offers an exclusive and peaceful experience, surrounded by pristine riverine woodlands. Each tent is comfortably furnished and features flushing toilets and safari-style showers. The shaded main lounge area provides a relaxed space to unwind, with solar-powered electricity available 24/7 to charge devices and keep drinks cold.
Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Muchinga Escarpment, the camp overlooks open plains and is designed for travelers seeking a quiet and immersive wilderness experience. Kutandala Camp is fully solar-powered, blending comfort with minimal environmental impact. It’s the perfect base for exploring one of Zambia’s most untouched wildlife areas, with no other camps nearby.
Sustainability and Responsible Travel
Kutandala Camp is committed to low-impact tourism and operates entirely on solar power. The camp’s off-grid setup reduces its carbon footprint while maintaining essential comforts for guests. All energy needs—from tent lighting to cold storage—are met using solar panels and battery storage. The camp sources water responsibly and uses eco-friendly practices to minimize waste and protect local ecosystems.
Located in a remote section of North Luangwa National Park, the camp plays a vital role in supporting local conservation efforts, including the protection of Zambia’s only population of wild Black Rhino. The camp’s operation also provides employment opportunities and supports surrounding communities, reinforcing the value of wildlife and habitat protection.
Activities
Kutandala Camp offers exceptional wildlife viewing in one of Africa’s most exclusive safari destinations. North Luangwa is home to the highest density of elephants in Zambia and is the only park in the country where wild Black Rhino roam freely. Guests can enjoy guided game walks and drives, led by expert guides who know the land and its animals intimately.
The park is also rich in predators, including lion and African wild dog, and hosts unique species such as Cookson’s Wildebeest and Crawshay’s Zebra. Birdwatchers will find hundreds of recorded species across the Mwaleshi and Luangwa river systems. The camp’s prime location and intimate scale make it ideal for travelers looking to explore Zambia’s wild north through responsible and enriching safari experiences.
