Experiences
Staying at KuKaya is all about freedom, from choosing your safari activities to flexible dining options.

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.
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, choose whether to join a shared game drive or enjoy your own private guide and vehicle.
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. At KuKaya, choose whether to join a shared walking safari or enjoy your own private guide.
Safari on your on terms
