At Kudu Safari Lodge, your experience goes far beyond a place to stay — it’s about adventure, connection, and discovering the true spirit of South Luangwa. We offer a variety of private safari experiences designed to give you the freedom, flexibility, and unforgettable moments you deserve.

Safari drives

Explore the wonders of South Luangwa National Park on our immersive game drives — one of the best ways to see Zambia's incredible wildlife up close.

• Morning Drive: 06:00 to 10:00
• Evening Drive: 15:30 to 20:00
• Full-Day Drive: 06:00 to 18:00 or 06:00 to 20:00

South Luangwa is one of the few national parks in Africa that allows night drives, offering rare opportunities to spot nocturnal predators such as leopards, hyenas, and genets in action. Our game drives are private — just for you, your partner, family, or group. That means you control the pace: stop for a break when you like, stay longer at a sighting, and enjoy a more personal safari experience. Its your safari, your way.

OUR Rates are based on the number of people in your group. The more you are, the more affordable it becomes — especially for groups of 6 or more.
