Testimonials
Kaingu Lodge, Kafue. (October)
First of all - the drawbacks - in the GMA so game a bit on the scarce side - I knew this so no urprise. The Tetze Fly - that I did'nt know about. They
were not in camp but any vehicle safaris had to be done in a closed vehicle as they were voracious which also made photography awkward.
The pluses - the camp was lovely, well-appointed with everything we needed.
Tents overlooked the river - pretty and the food was very good - Vivi actually drove 3 times to Lusaka to ensure fresh supplies. The river surely
must be the best in Africa - it was so picturesque, narrow in places with beautiful rounded boulders, twisting and turning so a new view with every
backwater, hippos rumbling and eles wading across to the islands to feed.
We fished every day catching yellow fin, not a day passed without landing something. Our guide helpful and courteous. Tom has started a community venture - rebuilding an iron mine which we visited and also a tour to an
aquarmarine mine proved interesting - and free!!!
