Car
If you're traveling by car, head towards Lower Zambezi National Park. From Lusaka, take the Great East Road (A3) southeast for about 100 km until you reach the town of Chirundu. From Chirundu, follow the signs to Lower Zambezi National Park. The last stretch involves a dirt road; make sure your vehicle is equipped for rough terrain. Look out for directional signs to Kutali Camp, which is located along the banks of the Zambezi River. The total distance from Lusaka to Kutali Camp is around 200 km and can take approximately 3 to 4 hours, depending on road conditions. Note that there might be a park entrance fee, which is typically around $20 per person for foreign tourists.
Public Transportation
For those using public transportation, you can take a bus from Lusaka to Chirundu. Buses leave regularly from the Lusaka Intercity Bus Station. The journey takes about 2 to 3 hours. Once in Chirundu, you can hire a taxi or arrange for a local transfer to Lower Zambezi National Park. Make sure to confirm the fare with the driver beforehand. Upon arrival at the park entrance, be prepared to pay the entry fee, which is approximately $20 per person for foreign tourists. After entering the park, you can either self-drive (if you have a rental) or pre-arrange a pick-up with Kutali Camp for the final leg of your journey to the camp.
