Safari
Kutali Camp is a realisation of the dream of Luke Evans and Kyle Branch, two young men who have spent the past decade guiding travellers throughout southern and East Africa's most sought-after sanctuaries. They've come to know the essential ingredients of a great bush experience. A truly wild, beautiful and productive wilderness – in this case, Zambia's Lower Zambezi National Park. Dedicated, knowledgeable guides – the owners themselves. And the atmosphere – there's certainly little to beat the under-the-stars campfire spirit, with good food and wine.

Guests gather in the camps' main area – all Hemingway-style tents with a light footprint and some classy trimmings. The tents open to the bush, so you'll miss none of the action. There's a well-stocked refrigerated bar in the shade of a big tree, comfortable couches, a canvas-sheltered dining area with gorgeous Persian rugs underfoot, and a campfire open to the stars. What more do you need?
Start your stay at camp, in your large, private tent with sides that are rolled up by day for airflow and Zambezi views. Blackout curtains ensure a good night's sleep (although bush sounds may penetrate your dreams). The beds and linens are good quality, there's room for your kit and two comfy camp chairs. En-suite bathrooms have hot bucket showers, flush toilets and a washbasin.
The Zambezi River and the escarpment rising to its north make this one of Africa's most scenic parks. The wildlife is outstanding, and there's a full package of activities to allow you to make the most of it. Paddle downstream to see elephant, buffalo, crocodile and birds on the banks and hippo poking their heads above the surface, then boat back, focusing your attention, and camera, on the sights. There's catch-and-release fishing, and some action-packed day and night game drives.
Kutali Camp along with Chula Island Camp is owner-operated, meaning either Kyle or Luke will guide and host you on safari. And these passionate professionals are among the best of Africa's guides, hands down!
Canoe the river. The broad, slow-flowing section of the Zambezi in the Lower Zambezi area is almost rapid-free, so you're able to take it slowly, watching the animals on the banks and the hippo snorting in the shallows.
This is traditional camping down to a T so think bucket showers and simple tents (and a good dose of excitement) and you won’t be disappointed.
