Kaingo Camp | Game Lodges & Resorts Mfuwe

Shenton Safaris is owner run and operated and has two safari camps (Kaingo and Mwamba),
deep within the unspoilt wilderness of Zambia's South Luangwa National Park. Derek Shenton started Shenton Safaris 18 years ago and has created two beautiful camps, which are perfectly in tune with nature and Eco-friendly.

60% of Shenton Safari’s guests love their experience so much they return – many guests come every single year!

Kaingo and Mwamba Camp are deep inside the park– far from the busy Mfuwe area. This section of the park is bound by national park on both sides of the river. The sheer abundance of game around these two camps is testament to the lack of human interference.

Their privileged location affords un-disturbed game-viewing in the beautiful and diverse habitats of the wild Luangwa Valley. The immediate area supports abundant antelope, two lion prides, numerous leopard and impressive herds of elephant, buffalo, hippo and over 300 bird species.

There are very few operators this far inside the park. If you find a lion kill or leopards mating it is most likely that it will be your car alone on the sighting.

Our photographic hides of Derek’s own design are a special feature of Shenton Safaris. These hides are guaranteed to get you close enough to the wildlife to take a while host of stunning photos – in complete safety.

Our hides have certainly turned the heads of the professionals. In the past year we have been visited by world renowned wildlife photographer Frans Lanting (twice) of National Geographic, Own Prumm of Discovery Channel, David Rogers of Africa Geographic, Lyn Johnson of National Geographic and Independent film maker Peter Lamberti (Valley of the Golden Baboon). In previous years the BBC have used our hippo hide in the filming of the Wild Africa Series.

Overlooking the Luangwa River in the prime game viewing area of the South Luangwa National Park, Kaingo's relaxed, personal and friendly atmosphere offers its guests fantastic game-viewing opportunities within an area of stark beauty and varied terrain. From the safety of your chalet you may witness some of the night time visitors to camp: an inquisitive hyena, prowling leopard, grazing hippo or silently hunting owls.

Accommodation comprises of two twin bedded chalets, two double bedded chalets and two honeymoon suites. Each chalet has a stunning out door bath and a private viewing deck on the banks of the river. All the rooms have en-suite facilities, are well ventilated, mosquito-proofed and silently lit by solar power.
