From this area among the trees, predators and hunters alike have quietly observed the prolific hunting grounds spread out below. Now visitors come to Puku Ridge to revel in the abundance of wildlife, and the comforts of traditional old-world Zambia safari camps.

Named for the elusive Puku Antelope, which never strays far from water, this beautiful Zambia lodging overlooks a sweeping expanse of the fertile Kakumbi dambo (valley). Here, the living is easy for both visitors and wildlife.

Puku Ridge Tented Camp is small and intimate Zambia accommodation, built unobtrusively close to the wild. The diverse wildlife along the valley offers great opportunities for photography, whether you choose to explore on foot with a keen-eyed guide, or range further a field in a safari vehicle.

In the evenings, return to camp, and dine with the night sounds of Africa as a soundtrack. A wide range of cuisine is served blending local ingredients with international flavours. Meals are served outdoors whenever possible.

Puku Ridge offers guests a chance to see a great diversity of wildlife, as well as offering the best in hospitality and comfort, typical of traditional old-world Zambia safari camps. Its situated on a rocky ridge that offers wonderful panoramic views of the Kakubi Valley.
