  • Derek Shenton is a small independent safari operator who has followed in his family's footsteps as a third generation wildlife conservationist. You could not ask for a better guide or host in this remote big game region.

    Derek is fluent in the local Nyanja language and has integrated conservation into all aspects of his 2 camps; Kaingo and Mwamba. Kaingo Camp is well known for incredible game viewing and an honest and relaxed atmosphere.

    Special features of this Zambia safari lodge are its unique animal-watching hides. The Elephant and Hippo hides offer spectacular close-up photography opportunities and unobtrusive observation of animals in their natural environment. The BBC used Kaingo's Hippo hide when filming their Wild Africa Series, and they caught a Crocodile attacking a Buffalo on film.

    It makes perfect sense that while staying at Kaingo Camp, you take a 3 hour walk to Mwamba Camp and stay over to enjoy the unique environs and character of both camps. Game viewing at this Zambia safari lodge is intensive along the Luangwa River, while the open plains and mopane forests at Mwamba Camp offer a different environment.
