Overview
About Kulandila Camp
Kulandila Camp has four guest tents beside the Luangwa River in the southern reaches of South Luangwa National Park. Each has a private veranda, an indoor bathroom and an outdoor bath, with beds arranged as a king or twins. Shared spaces include a riverside lounge, dining area and swimming pool. Game drives, walking safaris and photographic hides bring the surrounding bush into focus. Meals, standard drinks and laundry are included, while park and conservation charges are extra. The camp opens from mid-May to the end of October and welcomes children aged 12 and over, with younger children accepted on exclusive-use bookings.
“Four tents, river-facing shared spaces and photographic hides make Kulandila a good fit for travellers who want a small camp and time to explore South Luangwa on safari.”
