Fodor's Expert Review KaingU Safari Lodge
Livingstone, Southern, Zambia
KaingU Safari Lodge is a small camp comprised of a family house with two bedrooms and six classic en suite safari tents. The tents are raised on rosewood decks to provide ideal views over the myriad channels and islands formed by the Kafue River. It's also very remote—situated in the southern reaches of the Kafue National Park. The thatched main building has a lounge, bar, and dining room, where the hosted dinner conversations cover all topics. Two activities are included every day, and the selection ranges from chilled-out river safaris to serious birding excursions. The natural splendor of deepest Zambia takes precedence—at this camp even the swimming pool is a wholly natural Jacuzzi in the rapids of the Kafue!
PROS
- Africa untouched in all its glory
- the owners have a true commitment to environmental and community development
- very friendly service
CONS
- road transfers from Lusaka take 5–6 hours
- the area has less big game than some other areas of the park
- food is a little unspectacular for a top-end lodge
