Guests arriving for the 2027 season at Kaingo Camp will experience completely new rooms. Shenton Safaris’ flagship lodge – built in 1992 – is getting a major overhaul during the annual shutdown between November 2026 and May 2027.

All the rooms are being rebuilt to be more spacious and have an improved indoor-outdoor design. The aim is to have a balance between refined luxury and comfort that also retains Kaingo’s original character and Shenton’s focus on authentic safaris in South Luangwa National Park.

This major revamp follows the upgrades to sister bush camp Mwamba in 2024 – read more here.
