Accommodation
KuKaya is set in pristine bush overlooking permanent water holes, only 2.5 kilometres from the main gate of the South Luangwa.
KuKaya has six beautiful and very spacious tented thatched chalets (5 doubles and one single), all with additional sleeping space available. Each chalet has outdoor en-suite bathrooms, a comfortable living and dining area, and a deck, as well as a private plunge pool and firepit to make the most of the alfresco safari lifestyle.
Experiences
Staying at KuKaya is all about privacy and comfort. Embark on private game drives and walking safaris, visit the hide and brush up your photography skills, or simply choose to relax by your private pool, drink in hand, and watch the wildlife go by.
Safari on your on terms
Make the most of your time at KuKaya with a private guide and vehicle and tailor your trip to exactly what you want, when you want to do it.
Exceptional wildlife-viewing
Explore the rich diversity and incredible wildlife of the South Luangwa on a game drive. On four wheels, you’ll cover as much of the region as possible and maximise your game-viewing. At KuKaya, enjoy all game drives and activities on a private basis.
Where the walking safari is King
The walking safari was born in the South Luangwa, so it’s only fitting that many of your outings will be on foot with the very finest guides.
Armchair game viewing
Our hides are perfectly positioned to make the most of their surroundings and are the ideal spot to while away an afternoon, watching the wildlife splish and splash nearby.
