Kaingo Camp

South Luangwa National Park, Zambia

About Kaingo Camp

Located deep within the park in an area renowned for Leopard, Kaingo Camp offers just 6 traditional brick and thatch rooms nestled discretely along the banks of the Luangwa River.

Large, gauzed windows and skylights offer uninterrupted views and a real sense of being immersed in nature. The spacious and beautifully styled rooms feature comfortable king size beds, solar powered charging points and fan, with the choice of indoor shower or indulgent outdoor bathtub. When not out on activity, guests can enjoy the sights and sounds of the bush from their shaded veranda, day bed or private viewing deck perched high above river.

At the heart of this friendly and relaxed camp, guests come together in our open sided lounge and dining area, sharing a drink over the thousand-year-old leadwood bar.

Our lower deck extends out over the Luangwa with large, comfy sofas for guests to curl up and enjoy the sights and sounds.

Two of our world-famous hides are just a short drive from the camp. The towering Elephant Hide, sited at an ancient elephant crossing point on the river, and the Hippo Hide. Built into the riverbank and offering a breath-taking, eye-level perspective of our resident hippo pod.

Dining & Cuisine

Kaingo Camp Restaurant

We are fortunate to have beautiful herbs and seasonal produce from our plot which form the inspiration for all our meals. Menus are focused on fresh flavours, and classic dishes with a twist! Following the traditional ‘safari’ mealtimes of brunch, afternoon tea and 3-course dinner the focus is always homegrown and fresh! Although we do offer many indulgences (afternoon tea been a particular highlight), we pride ourselves on keeping up to date with international food trends, in particular, the demand for nutritious food that feeds the body and soul.
