Shenton Safari Kaingo and Mwamba Oct 22
Zambia between 12 Oct 2022 and 24 Oct 2022
We almost never return to the same location for a holiday, but these two camps (which we visited in 2014) buck this trend due to their great guiding and wildlife experiences.
All the rest, the accommodation, great food, extremely helpful staff combine to make a fantastic holiday."

Latitude 15
"Latitude 15 review"

Kaingo Camp
"Kaingo Camp review"
The guide we had (Yoram, who is a birder) at both camps was outstanding, and we really appreciated Shenton Safaris allowing us to have the same guide for the entirety of our stay at the two camps.
We were also privileged to be allocated the "family room" for our stay at Kaingo.
The wildlife here was fantastic, with multiple sightings of the main mammal targets, and some great birds - including Pel's Fishing Owl (a special request) which we saw twice."

Mwamba Bushcamp
"Mwamba Bushcamp review"
The accommodation was excellent. The overnight in the star bed, with a bush dinner, was one of the highlights of the trip.
Wildlife sightings were, again, excellent with mammals and birds taking advantage of the camp, its surrounds and "the last waterhole"."

My Oct 2014 trip
Zambia between 15 Oct 2014 and 25 Oct 2014
Logistically we understand that it is difficult to have one guide for the whole time (one guide who we thought we would be with for the majority of time had to return to town with and eye problem)."

Kaingo Camp
"Kaingo Camp review"
Food OK, but "Executive Chef" giving us the menu each evening is a bit pretentious and un-necessary."

Mwamba Bushcamp
"Mwamba Bushcamp review"
Great guiding, very good food (possibly better than Kaingo)."
