Kaingo Camp

Kaingo’s relaxed, personal and friendly atmosphere offers its guests fantastic game-viewing opportunities within an area of incredible beauty and varied terrain. The large centrally located open-sided sitting room includes a dining area, library and Kaingo’s renowned thousand year old lead-wood bar. Overlooking the Luangwa River deep within the prime area of the South Luangwa National Park, Kaingo has two king chalets, two twin chalets and two honeymoon suites. Large fly-wired windows provide stunning views of the river; and the complete absence of generator noise (the camp uses solar power) means nothing but the wheeze-honk of a hippo interferes with the sounds of a lion’s roar, a leopard’s call or the early morning ‘drumming’ of the Ground Hornbill. In addition to the indoor ensuite bathroom, each chalet has a stunning outdoor bathtub with shady views of a pod of hippos. A special feature of Kaingo is the unique individual decks built out over the river in front of each chalet. From this relaxing vantage point guests can view game coming down to drink, basking hippos, aquatic birds, crocodiles fishing, and daily elephant crossings.
