KaingU Safari Lodge

Accommodation is in ‘meru-style’ luxury thatched tents on a rosewood platform with private deck OR Family House which comes with 2 bedrooms, en-suite bathrooms/shower, an outdoor shower, a living area and a private deck overlooking the river.

All activities, fishing, bush-walks, canoe trail, overnights in the bush-camp, cultural visits etc are included in this package. It is the guests who decide on their activities program and as it is a small 12 bed lodge, the staff is able to organize these activities according to the wish of the guests. There is no set activities program. Guests can also decide to spend a night or two in the new bush camp in the Park (no fishing there).

Wildlife is in abundance around the camp and along the river. Game viewing is made on Bush Walks and in the Park in open vehicles.

Health Information:

Travellers must note that on entering Zambia immigration, they may be asked to present an up-to-date YELLOW FEVER vaccination certificate. This is now law in Zambia.

The Lower Zambezi is a malaria affected area so appropriate prophylactic like Malarone is advisable.

Climate:
