Safari Katunula Luangwa
A full safari that introduces you to the pristine and remote destinations in the well-known Nsefu sector of South Luangwa. This unique area and carefully selected accommodations will not make you bored. This trip means 7 days of optimal enjoyment of pure wildlife safari combined with relax, day trips, braai and evening stories around the campfire. You will spend 5 nights on the Katunula Islands. A new safari camp between the Luangwa and Lupande rivers. Opened in 2022, the camp offers a unique location, well-maintained chalets and the showers inside the chalets have an open sky connecting you direct to sun or moon and stars. The local culture and traditions will not pass you by either. And be prepared, because this location offers you one of the best panoramic views at the Luangwa river in the valley. From here you can also book various day trips in Kakumbi, such as a Village tour, Mulberry Mongoose and the souvenir markets. The last 2 nights we take you even deeper into the wilderness of Nsefu. Zikomo safari lodge is well known on the Luangwa River. From here you can enjoy beautiful game drives that start through the Monjoti gate. Here you will find yourself almost alone in the park and get the feeling of a private safari. After the game drive you can take a dip in the pool and enjoy the great hospitality here.
Katunula Islands
The Lodge owes its name to its location at the beautiful Katunula lagoon. Katunula is not in the popular and busy area in Mfuwe, but in the pristine wilderness of Nsefu, which is home to a wealth of wildlife. The campsite is situated on a peninsula between the Katunula lagoon and two rivers, the Luangwa and the Lupande. The location offers an unforgettable panoramic view of the Luangwa River.
Zikomo Safari Camp
Zikomo Safari is in Zambia, across the river from South Luangwa National Park. It is set amidst an ancient valley filled with diverse African wildlife. This peaceful eco lodge in the African bush offers spacious accommodations: comfortable handcrafted chalets, or, if you are self-driving, an expansive campground on the riverbank.
