Unbelievable game viewing in the region.

Set in a wildly remote section of the South Luangwa National Park, Kaingo Camp is a photographers dream with frequent big cat sightings, photographic hides, excellent guiding and fabulous accommodation.

Kaingo boasts five standard chalets and a deluxe suite, all of which have a private and stunning deck on the Luangwa river from where wildlife can be viewed at your leisure. Each chalet also has an indoor en-suite bathroom, private outdoor bathtub and spacious veranda.

The chalets are connected by pathway to the main area which consists of a lounge area, bar, dining area and a large deck overlooking the Luangwa. It is here where delicious meals are served at the communal tables which create a homely atmosphere.

Kaingo camp offers daily game-drives, walking safaris, access to photographic hides as well as the option for sleepouts in one of their special sleepout platforms.

If you are serious about your photography, then Kaingo camp is the best place for you. The hides, the density of wildlife and guides who know how to position for the best shots, it doesn’t get much better.

Kaingo is best combined with its sister camp – Mwamba Bush Camp which is within walking distance and offers a different experience.
