Information
A little further upstream is the smaller of the Sungani two family owned and operated properties; the beautiful Kulandila Camp. The open-plan main area and adjoining swimming pool enjoy vast vistas of the Luangwa River.
This intimate camp comprises four elevated tents furnished with a combination of gorgeous white linen, teak, brass, and textures to create a colonial feel. The outdoor slipper bath provides an oasis to unravel your thoughts in nature.
A passion for Africa and each family member’s unique set of skills have wrought Sungani Lodge and Kulandila Camp. It is a joy to tell you that the majority of what you will find at both properties has been created and hand built by the family and local people, transforming this remote area of the South Luangwa National Park from a state of neglect into something quite extraordinary. The inclusive transfer to the properties is a short 20-minute flight from Mfuwe in the Sungani aircraft.
Rooms
Four elevated tents are linked by distinct pathways which allow you to meander to the communal areas. The traditional safari style tents offering approximately 460 square feet of indoor floor space are set on a wooden platform with an adjoining veranda. This combines with gorgeous white linen, textured cushions and oiled teak furniture.
The outdoor slipper bath provides an oasis to unravel your thoughts and soak in the sights and sounds of the nearby river. Each tent is made up of single beds, which are combined to form a king configuration and can easily be separated to form twin beds.

Facilities
The open-plan main area faces the mighty Luangwa River. There is an adjoining swimming pool and viewing decks with vast vistas of the Luangwa. The style remains contemporary and features large leather chairs, oiled teak furniture and brass finishes. There is VSAT WIFI (only in the main area).
A complimentary daily laundry service will help you minimise your clothing needs. A range of African Earth natural guest amenities are provided in every tent. Layering is just plain practical, so plan to zip off, add and remove as the temperature changes throughout the day. Consider zip off trousers as your 2 in 1 space saver. June to August can be chilly when the sun goes down. In the chilly wetter green season, consider waterproof clothing, duffel, and dry bag
Activities
Game Drives
If you long to explore Africa as it used to be, then come to Zungulila. To get even further afield, the expert guides will take you on a game drive through some of the park’s most untouched wilderness, where large herds of buffalo roam the grassy plains and thirsty elephants come to drink at the springs and along the river. In the evening, after wading through the river, we invite you to join your hosts for sundowners, or sit around the campfire for a drink, before recounting the day’s adventures over a starlit supper overlooking the river.
