KaingU Safari Lodge, Zambia
3+* camp
The KaingU Safari Lodge is built within stunning surroundings overlooking the Kafue River and ideally located for those looking to explore Zambia. The Kafue River runs through the heart of the Kafue National Park, one of Africa’s largest national parks at 22,400 square kilometres. The park has an authentic and untouched ambience and the KaingU Safari Lodge makes the most of this incredible setting. It is just a 10 minute boat trip into the park and perfect for those looking to immerse themselves in Zambia’s wilderness.
KaingU Safari Lodge provides comfortable accommodation in a rustic style and creates the ideal setting for an exciting safari adventure. There are just six chalets and one family house which ensures an intimate and personalised stay. The chalets and family house are all perched on raised wooden decks and are spacious meru-style tents with en-suite bathrooms and open-air showers, each tented chalet has amazing views and overlooks the Kafue River.
As the KaingU Safari Lodge is located right on the river, there are some fantastic safari experiences on its doorstep. The maze-like waterways of the Kafue River are easily accessible and guests can take part in boating safaris with the hope of seeing crocodiles, hippopotamuses and elephants as well as leopards drinking water on the shoreline. Lodge guests can also canoe down the river for a safari adventure, head out on a walking safari, a game drive or a catch and release fishing trip. In between inclusive game activities guests enjoy all meals and snacks as well as local drinks included.
KaingU Safari Lodge is a fantastic option for couples looking for a safari experience with a difference but it is also very good for families.
