Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Kakumbi?
The best area to stay in Kakumbi is along the Luangwa River, particularly near the Mfuwe Gate of South Luangwa National Park.

This area is the primary access point for the park and offers unparalleled proximity to wildlife. Lodges and camps here are often situated directly on the riverbanks, providing continuous opportunities to observe animals like elephants, hippos, and crocodiles from your accommodation. The main road leading to Mfuwe Gate is where you'll find most of the facilities, including a few small shops and local craft markets.

Couples looking for a romantic and immersive wildlife experience will find this area ideal. Many accommodations offer private decks overlooking the river, guided walking safaris, and open-vehicle game drives right from their doorstep. The convenience of being so close to the park entrance means more time spent on safari and less time traveling.

For those seeking a more secluded and intimate safari, staying slightly further afield within the South Luangwa National Park boundaries, but still with river access, is an excellent choice.
When is the best time to go to Kakumbi?
The best time to go to Kakumbi is during the dry season, which runs from May to October. This period offers optimal conditions for wildlife viewing and outdoor activities.

During these months, the weather is consistently sunny and dry, with cooler temperatures, making it comfortable for safaris and exploring. The vegetation is sparser, and animals congregate around the remaining water sources, making them easier to spot. This is particularly beneficial for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers.

For those interested in birdwatching, the shoulder months of May and October are particularly good. Many migratory bird species are present, adding to the diversity of sightings.
