We stayed at Kuyenda for the first days of a multi site trip to South Luangwa, the famous Phil and Babette were not there, but we were looked after by Ollie Drake, who was a great pleasure to spend time with, made better as we had a number of people that we knew in common. The accomodation was just as... More

I stayed at Kuyenda for 3 nights with my wife and 5 yr old son. Because of our son's age we had a private vehicle and guide (Onacious), so did we not go on any walks or drives with Phil (who was guiding other guests), but still got to spend some time with Phil and Babette in camp. As with... More

We hadnt been to Kuyenda for ten years...far too long. We had fabulous memories of our previous visit and were not disappointed. Phil and Babette are amazing and run the bushcamp superbly. Every day was a revelation despite the spectacular heat in October. We are Africa mad and have travelled extensively throughout Southern and East Africa but this has to... More

What an amazing experience! Babette and Phil are two of the most interesting people and conscientious hosts, this camp is a "must do!" Babette's attention to detail and personalisation of their camp, makes it a truly welcoming place. The location on a dry river bank makes you feel like you are the only people in Africa! this is definitely the... More

This is a fantastic place to stay to get a real sense of staying in the bush. The accommodation is fabulous, the food is amazing and the staff go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need. The walks and game drives from the camp are varied and exciting - the guides are excellent and they... More

The staff at this bushcamp are second to none... so friendly and engaging. We had an the incredible experience at this lodge of seeing a pack... More

Want to be pampered in the middle of nowhere? Kuyenda Bushcamp is the place. Phil and Babette have built a superb small getaway where you will eat gourmet food, hear tales of times past from when Phil was leading anti-poaching patrols against rhinos, and not hear any sounds of civilization. The place has no electricity, but depends upon kerosene lanterns... More

We first visited Phil & Babette in 2001 and after that visit we rated Kuyenda as one of the best camps we had visited. In 2010, after a number of safari holidays, we decided to revisit our most favourite places in Zambia. Phil and Babette were at the top of our list. There is always a danger in revisiting a... More

Kuyenda is managed by Phil ( the Grand Old Man of the Valley) and Babette in the most sophisticated style. Words cannot describe this unique and genuine bushcamp - so remote and untouched by modern life with its stresses and challenges. To stay there for a few days is very good for the soul.
