"Kaingu Lodge is a wonderfully relaxing place"

3 nights Arrived 12 Jul 2016
"King Lodge is superbly situated on the Kafue River amongst stunning scenery. It was an extremely relaxing place to stay with plenty to keep those who love Africa interested.

Whilst you won't find the place teeming with big game there is plenty to see, particularly if you are interested in birds. There are also other activities such as kayaking and fishing.

The guides were very good, the food was great and the warm welcome from Gill and Julia, both of whom are great hosts, was appreciated." See all these reviews: 6n in Zambia

"Kaingu Lodge review"

3 nights Arrived 9 Jul 2016
"The location and environment is stunning. The activities were great, especially those on the water.

I would probably advise people not to worry about a game drive and just enjoy the river. The guide JohnD was excellent. If I was advising people and they could afford it i would say only do the road transfer one way.

We were there when it was quite cloudy and the solar hot water was insufficient, they may need some sort of booster." See all these reviews: 14n in Zambia

"Kaingu Lodge review"

2 nights Arrived 20 Aug 2015
"The lodge is set in a charming location, overlooking a beautiful river, with comfortable tents.

Lynda, Gil and Julia were extremely helpful and did everything possible to assist when my camera stopped working :-(

Fishing with Major was fun (lots of silver bullets and different types of perch). Our guide "John D." was experienced and knowledgeable, but the game drives unfortunately were very quiet. We were possibly just unlucky during our 2 night stay." See all these reviews: 17n in Zambia
