Kutali Camp is a realisation of the dream of Luke Evans and Kyle Branch, two young men who have spent the past decade guiding travellers throughout southern and East Africa's most sought-after sanctuaries. They've come to know the essential ingredients of a great bush experience. A truly wild, beautiful and productive wilderness – in this case, Zambia's Lower Zambezi National Park. Dedicated, knowledgeable guides – the owners themselves. And the atmosphere – there's certainly little to beat the under-the-stars campfire spirit, with good food and wine.

Start your stay at camp, in your large, private tent with sides that are rolled up by day for airflow and Zambezi views. Blackout curtains ensure a good night's sleep (although bush sounds may penetrate your dreams). The beds and linens are good quality, there's room for your kit and two comfy camp chairs. En-suite bathrooms have hot bucket showers, flush toilets and a washbasin.
Kutali Camp along with Chula Island Camp is owner-operated, meaning either Kyle or Luke will guide and host you on safari. And these passionate professionals are among the best of Africa's guides, hands down!
Canoe the river. The broad, slow-flowing section of the Zambezi in the Lower Zambezi area is almost rapid-free, so you're able to take it slowly, watching the animals on the banks and the hippo snorting in the shallows.
This is traditional camping down to a T so think bucket showers and simple tents (and a good dose of excitement) and you won’t be disappointed.
Kutali Camp is owned by Classic Zambia for which Conservation is a central mission, ensuring the symbiotic thriving of nature and local communities. Their organisation, Musekese Conservation, combats poaching in Kafue National Park, and they invest in guide training to nurture stewards of Africa's parks, led by renowned trainer Kyle Branch. Sustainability is ingrained; camps run on solar power, waste is managed consciously, and local procurement minimises ecological impact. Through skills training and employment, Classic Zambia empowers communities, reducing reliance on illegal activities like poaching.
