Built and run by Derek Shenton, son of Barry Shenton - former ranger in Luangwa and warden of Kafue National Park - Kaingo has many attributes from the Shenton family ranging from the camps stylish design and practical layout to the homemade soaps, textiles, and farm produce.

The large centrally located open-sided sitting room includes a dining area, library and Kaingo's renowned thousand year old lead-wood bar.

Kaingo's chalets were designed with the sole purpose of transporting you safely into the world of the Luangwa without a single distraction.

Nestled discretely apart on the banks of the river, Kaingo has two king, two twin chalets and two honeymoon suites.

Large fly-wired windows provide stunning views of the river; and the complete absence of generator noise (Kaingo runs on solar power) means nothing but the sounds of a lions roar, a leopards call or the early morning 'drumming' of the Ground Hornbill disturbs your sleep.

The honeymoon suite is discretely nestled under tall leadwood and sausage trees and, in addition to the indoor ensuite bathroom, has a stunning outdoor bathtub with shady views of a pod of hippos.

A special feature of Kaingo is the unique deck built out over the river. From this relaxing vantage point just below the central dining area one can view game coming down to drink, basking hippos, aquatic birds, crocodiles fishing, and daily elephant crossings.

Game-drives and walks from Kaingo provide exciting photographic opportunities for its guests. The action often starting just outside camp.

Kaingo Camp is operated by Shenton Safaris.
