Where in Africa shall we go?

A Riverside Sanctuary Amidst Pristine African Wilderness
Perched high above the meandering Luangwa River, Time + Tide Kakuli offers an unparalleled safari experience in the heart of South Luangwa National Park. The camp's elevated position provides sweeping vistas of the river and its surrounding ecosystems, immersing guests in the unspoiled beauty of Zambia's premier wildlife destination.

Accommodations at Kakuli comprise four spacious safari tents and a two-bedroom family suite, each thoughtfully designed to maximize comfort while embracing the natural environment. Guests enjoy feather-top beds, both indoor and outdoor showers, and private open-air seating areas that offer panoramic views of the river. The camp's design emphasizes a seamless connection to nature, allowing guests to fully appreciate the sights and sounds of the African bush.

The main lounge area, elevated to enhance the surrounding vistas, overlooks a permanent lagoon frequented by various wildlife. Beneath this communal space lies a wildlife hide, offering guests the unique opportunity to observe animals at close range as they visit the water's edge. Dining at Kakuli features traditional Zambian dishes, served in an open-air setting that complements the camp's authentic safari atmosphere.

Kakuli serves as an excellent base for both vehicle and walking explorations, with a resident lion pride and a seasonal colony of vibrant carmine bee-eaters nearby. The area is renowned for its high frequency of leopard sightings, often yielding multiple encounters in a single game drive. During the lush green season, guests can venture out by boat and on foot, capturing some of the most remarkable opportunities for wildlife and landscape photography.
