Safari Lodge Zambia | Kaingo Camp

 

Kaingo Camp is deep inside the park, far from the busy Mfuwe area. This section of the park is bound by national park on both sides of the river. The sheer abundance of game around these two camps is testament to the lack of human interference.  Their privileged location affords undisturbed game viewing in the beautiful and diverse habitats of the wild Luangwa Valley. The immediate area supports abundant antelope, two lion prides, numerous leopard and impressive herds of elephant, buffalo, hippo and over 300 bird species.

Overlooking the Luangwa River in the prime game viewing area of the South Luangwa National Park, Kaingo's relaxed, personal and friendly atmosphere offers its guests fantastic game-viewing opportunities within an area of stark beauty and varied terrain.  From the safety of your chalet you may witness some of the night time visitors to camp: an inquisitive hyena, prowling leopard, grazing hippo or silently hunting owls.

Accommodation comprises of two twin bedded chalets, two double bedded chalets and two honeymoon suite with a stunning outdoor bath on the banks of the river. All the rooms have en-suite facilities, are well ventilated, mosquito-proofed and silently lit by solar power. 

A special feature of Kaingo is the unique wooden deck built out over the river. From this relaxing vantage point one can view game coming down to drink, basking hippos, water birds fishing, and daily elephant crossings.

Our hides have certainly turned the heads of the professionals. In the past year we have been visited by world renowned wildlife photographer Frans Lanting (twice) of National Geographic, Own Prumm of Discovery Channel, David Rogers of Africa Geographic, Lyn Johnsson of National Geographic and Independent film maker Peter Lamberti (Valley of the Golden Baboon). In previous years the BBC have used our hippo hide in the filming of the Wild Africa Series.

Game Drives

Game-viewing from one of our custom built, open 4WD vehicles is a real pleasure. Comfortable, high seats allow superb all-round vision and easy photography.  Our qualified and experienced guides will take you to game-rich areas not commonly visited. Big cats hunting, mongoose and porcupine foraging; hyena, civet, genet and Pels Fishing Owl, all provide great entertainment and a challenge to the photographer.
