What a fantastic start to our bush camp safari - 3 days in the excellent company of Phil and Babette who make you feel more like house guests than holiday makers. Phil is a superb guide with extensive knowledge and a quick wit who makes the walks and drives very informative and great fun Babette's attention to detail is second... More

Kuyenda was our second bushcamp of the four we visited and it was by far the most stark and simplest. What it lacked in furnishings and decor it more than made up for in warmth and elegance. It was by far our favorite stop. Spending time with Babette and Phil was like visiting close friends. We were greeted with enthusiasm... More

Kuyenda bush camp was the simplest bush camp of the four we stayed at this July in Zambia, but was our favorite place. We scheduled our twelve day trip to start at Kuyenda at a time when both Babette and Phil would be present. It was the perfect way to begin our first safari. The camp is basic and at... More

Hugely instructive stay at this lodge. Phil seems to be the valley's expert on all matters of flora and animal.Hugely knowledgeable. Babette runs a terrific kitchen. Never dreamed we would receive meals of this quality out in the bush. A truly remarkable double-act! And a wonderful stay.

We spent three nights at Kuyenda as part of an eight day bushcamp trip. Kuyenda was the crown jewel of our entire amazing experience. This is not a "safari in a box" by any means and while the bushcamp is certainly rustic, giving us the feel of the real African Bush, we were astonished by the touches of luxury. The... More

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

The best kitchen we ever had. Thank you Babette! Every day was a new experience with lots if surprises.

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
