Rooms at Kaingo

At Kaingo, nature is king. This wild rustic little bush camp wraps guests the timeless luxuries of peace, space, and beauty. Each of Kaingo’s rustic chalets are designed to mean that guests don’t miss a moment’s magic from the great outdoors.  They have large windows and a deck from where it’s possible to watch the animals coming down to the river, and even the bathtubs are outside.

Food and facilities

Safari is not a time to diet- sit back, loosen your belt and enjoy the food- there’s sure to be a good deal of it! From morning coffee and cakes, through till dinner (via a full English breakfast, lunch, and afternoon tea) food is simple, hearty and plentiful.

Activities at Kaingo

From the moment the morning drums wake you, it’s clear this is a destination for serious safari-goers, with three, rather than the usual two game viewing activities each day. In the South Luangwa, a walking safari is a must, but photographers will find game drives a better way to get close to some of the larger animals. There are also three hides, which are ideal for close-up shots or a gentle afternoon waiting for the animals (and birds) to come to you. Not a photographer? Don’t worry, the guides here will bring the bush to life, whatever your interests may be.
