A trip to Zambia takes you back to a style steeped in tradition and a true feeling of being on safari. The Zambezi and Luangwa Valleys are both legendary safari destinations worthy of their reputation of being the “real Africa”. 

Small intimate bush camps in remote wilderness areas offer some of the best walking destinations on the continent. Search for Zambia’s endemic mammal and bird species. Expect phenomenal game viewing on foot, and by vehicle. Take to the water for an unforgettable boat trip on the mighty Zambezi River. 

We have selected our camps meticulously. Each has its own special attraction and mode of game viewing. You’ll experience a variety of remarkable wildlife and magnificent landscapes. These locations are personally chosen for their remoteness and finest location within both the South Luangwa National Park and the Lower Zambezi National Park.

“Kaingo” means leopard in Nyanja, the local language. There are few better areas in Africa to encounter this spectacular cat. In addition, Kaingo Camp is well known for its photographic opportunities and offers the keen photographer the chance to view and photograph wildlife from a number of specially-designed photographic hides. This is one of the attractions at Kaingo and allows a different angle and style of game viewing. 

Each of the thatched rooms overlook the Luangwa River and have a private deck area that offers you the chance to just sit and enjoy the activity of the animals and birds that frequent the river and surrounding woodland. 

This wonderful camp is owner-run and operated, and you’ll be guaranteed a high level of service and personal attention throughout your stay.
