Kaingu Safari Lodge

the very first accolade is directed at Kaingu´s owners / managers - they are an exceptional couple,. who set the standards that their team of staff over-deliver on. Then Lodge being located right on the river banks immediately has an appeal that safari lodges / camps that don´t have river aspects are challenged by as there is nothing more mood & ambiance setting than the soft gurgle of water. From our outboard powered vessel arrival, to our departure 4 days later, nothing was for wanting,. every aspect of our stay exceeded expectations by a country mile, be that the seriously large family thatched bungalow / chalet were assigned to (called Fin Foot), the over indulgent cuisine for breakfasts, lunches & dinners, the innocent & genuinely welcoming hospitality & service to the excellent guiding elements of our safari experiences. We travelled with a close friends & family group of 11, as well as taking our twin 8 year old boys All of he lodge team went overboard to entertain our boys, from occupying them making pastry crocodiles that were cooked to perfection in the chef{s oven & served with pizzazz making our lads feel enormously proud, taking them rock climbing, fishing off the jetty in front of the lodge & an expedition to find bugs, beetles & pursue vervet monkeys. Our river based guided safaris & sundowners were iced by the abundance of wildlife along the river banks & glorious birds & although this was more a coincidence than a set-up, we were far welled by a pride of four lioness & a big adult male, hunting. No hesitation whatsoever recommending KaingU Safari Lodge to all discerning, appreciative lovers of the African bush.
