A unique lodge that redefines the safari experience, KuKaya gives you the freedom of choice to design your own private safari
Set in private bush overlooking permanent water holes, only 2.5 kilometers from the main gate of South Luangwa National Park. This luxurious lodge offers an unparalleled safari experience, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the breathtaking beauty of African wilderness.
Accommodation
KuKaya has six beautiful and very spacious tented thatched chalets (5 doubles and 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 fire pit to make the most of the alfresco safari lifestyle.
Experiences
Staying at KuKaya is all about freedom from choosing your safari activities to flexible dining options. 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.

Wildlife Hides
Armchair game viewing
The hides are perfectly positioned to make the most of their surroundings and are the ideal spot to while away an afternoon, watch the wildlife splish and splash nearby.

Exceptional wildlife-viewing
Explore the rich diversity and incredible wildlife of the South Luangwa on private game drives. On four wheels, you will 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.

An iconic tradition
As the sun sinks below the horizon, there is nothing better than finding a spectacular spot in the heart of the bush for an ice-cold drink and something to nibble on.

Heighten your senses
At night, a whole new cast of characters fills the landscape of the South Luangwa National Park. With the help of a spotlight, take to the road and see what you can find.

Where the walking is King
The walking safari was born in South Luangwa, so it’s only fitting that many of your outings will be on foot with the very finest guides.

Safari on your terms
Make the most of your time with a private guide and a vehicle and tailor your trip to exactly what you want, when you want to do it. Available on request, at an extra cost.

Discover the true meaning of relaxation at Mfuwe Lodge’s Bush Spa, a tranquil retreat in the heart of the wilderness, perfect for anyone seeking rejuvenation of mind, body and soul.

Giving back to the community
