Mutinondo is one of the few places in the Zambian bush that does not require you to have a four wheel drive vehicle....or a vehicle at all and this means you do not have to charter a plane either!
You can get to us:
· By road (By self drive)
· By rail or
bus and then transfer, hike or bike
· By air
BY ROAD
You don't
need a four-wheel drive to visit Mutinondo Wilderness! The 25 km driveway to Mutinondo
was built by us and is well-maintained and very 2 x 2 saloon car friendly. The
Great North Road linking Zambia with Tanzania has recently been resurfaced from
Serenje to the border with Tanzania and rebuilt between Kapiri Mposhi and Serenje
- thank you very much to the Danish Government for the most wonderful road!
DIRECTIONS
North Bound: Total distance is approximately 600 km from Lusaka or the Copperbelt.
Turn up the Great North Road just north of Kapiri Mposhi, drive 364 km (past Mkushi
and Serenje) until 164km after Serenje you see our small wooden sign on the right
