Thanks for an amazing experience. Fantastic safaris with loads of animals and wonderful guides & spotters who made every effort to find lions & leopards. 

The camp is beautiful & sleeping under the stars is truly special. 

Thanks to all the staff for an amazing stay!

Such a magical place ! We’ve had three most beautiful days here with beautiful people (including those visiting). 

Thanks TJ for being a fabulous host; Joseph & Kenny for some great game drives; the chef for making the best vegetarian food I’ve had on a safari holiday; Francis and the rest of the staff for being so kind!

And the starbed took me back to my childhood!

Many thanks for a very warm welcome and excellent safari adventure. The accommodation was superb and well beyond what we were expecting, the star bed was awesome and will be remembered in my memories. 

The safari and guide were exceptional, so much knowledge on any bird, tree or mammal, including details of poop! Overall the best safari camp I have experienced. 

Excellent to see lions strolling through camp!

Hello from Japan! We really had fun here! It was a new experience for us to sleep in the starbed.

The lions and the leopard that we saw on the last day were incredible. We were happy to be able to stay there for 3 hours observing the lion his kill. 

Thank you so much!

We had a wonderful time! What a beautiful place!

We spent the first nights at Three Rivers and the other nights at Kafunta River Lodge. both places are very different and both wonderful. The warmness and hospitality of the whole team is everywhere. The food was delicious and served in a spectacular scenery. The game walks and drives were very rewarding. South Luangwa truly deserves the title of “cat’s paradise”, and so many more interesting things to see. 

We wish you all the best!

What a treat. Kafunta to ease us into Zambia, and then Three Rivers where you feel truly part of nature. Thanks to our excellent guide, Paul, we notched up over 60 bird species, not to mention thte animals – a fish eagle dispossessing a saddleback stork of its hard earned catfish was a highlight. 

Another highlight was Maria’s magic hands at the spa. Her deep tissue massage was terrific… Highly recommended!

Thank you to all the wonderful staff for a marvellous visit.

Our second visit to Kafunta, and it likely won’t be the last!!

Just love this place. Everything is just perfect. Sad to be leaving. We wanted to see wild dogs, and today when we were sitting waiting to go to the airport , a pack of dogs were on the hunt right in front fo the amp! Amazing and a perfect way to end a perfect safari!

This is our first visit to Africa, and I don’t think there could be a better place to start. Stunning views and amazing wildlife everywhere you look. And the friendly, super helpful staff who go out of their way to make everything perfect rounded out the perfect trip. 

Special thanks to our guide David for providing so many highlights.

What a wonderful family trip we had here at Kafunta! 

Your warm welcome and super service meant we couldn’t ask for more. The children loved the food and jacuzzi for relaxing. 

Kelvin and Solomon were the most fantastic guides finding the most amazing big cat with all the excitement of our bush “African massages” and so much knowledge adding to our interest and enthusiasm for all things wildlife. 

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. Thank you all so much!

Thank you for the wonderful, warm and ever-present hospitality. Staying at Kafunta and going around through South Luangwa NP is an amazing experience. We’ve seen breathtaking landscapes and sunsets impossible to forget. Once we will be back in our everyday routine, thinking of the landscape in front of the deck will allow us to calm down and breathe again!

Thank you to the wonderful staff, to our amazing guide David who taught us so many things and to the incredible spotter Robert. Thanks to them, we’ve seen all the possible animals in their most natural setting and it was very emotional. But… we still miss to see the pangolin, so we’ll be back! Wait for us! 

If I had to find one word to describe Kafunta, I would say PEACE!

WOW! We had an amazing 8-day stay at Kafunta. I can not say enough of how wonderful the STAFF at Kafunta are. The facilities at all three locations are excellent… but the staff are what makes the whole experience here special. What we loved most: the staff, theh feeling of welcome, the morning breakfast around the fire at camps, the walking safaris, all the great information and knowledge shared by our guides Thomas and Martin, and of course the animals! 

Thank you to everyone for your hard work, kindness, and generosity. We 🧡 Kafunta.

Another amazing stay at Three Rivers. The game viewing has been amazing with so many animals visiting the camp including a lion last night! 

The hippo chorus at night will never be forgotten. TJ and the staff make you feel so welcome and are very helpful.

One of the highlights has to be the star beds all the more special to me as a wheelchair user being carried up the stairs. To lie there under the stars and listen to all the animal noises is just magical. 

Food was terrific! 

Thank you all!

Great to be here again! As with previous visits, it has been an amazing time. The wildlife is spectacular, and it is great to be able to get up close on the walking safaris. 

Island Bush Camp is really special as it is a different experience to other lodges – really back to nature. 

Many thanks to Martin and the staff here for looking after us so well and keeping us safe.

We had a wonderful stay thanks to an incredible staff. Excellent food (thank you to the chefs), smiling and efficient service (thank you to Jacob and Derrick). Sorry for those we forgot but you all deserve our congratulations.

Of course thank you to Paul, Lewis and Kenny for spotting beautiful animals, including a fabulous leopard. 

A stay we will always remember and a beautiful present for Kiti.

I believe this is the best holiday we have ever had! Lots of animals to see and many special birds that our guides David & Paul helped us identify. The food was very tasty and beautifully presented; compliments to the Chef – Francis. 

Being the only guests for several days was so special with just the sound of birds, hippos and the occasional lion.

So peaceful.

Kafunta was a wonderfully welcoming venue for our three-generational family holiday with a consistently kind and attentive team!

From Kolo’s management to a brilliant cuisine, serving staff, guides and background supporters cleaning our rooms to the front-line expert, in our case notably Solomon, who drove us safely around the park and answered all our questions with impressive scientific knowledge about the astonishing ecosystem of the Luangwa Valley and its diverse inhabitants. 

Thank you all for your kindness. This was a truly memorable visit.

We have just completed an amazing seven-night stay with Kafunta Safaris. This was our fifth visit to South Luangwa, and was probably the most memorable. Other lodges where we stayed were very good, but Kafunta had a perfect combination of excellent staff, superb guides, comfortable accommodation and excellent food. Plus a bonus lion kill witnessed one evening adjacent to the lodge on our return!

Thank you all for a fabulous time.

Kolo, are you wise? Thank you for being my mum!! I ate all 3 anyway. 🤣 Precious, thank you for all you did. I’m sorry you missed the cake. Ruth, maybe next time, I really wanted a massage.

Thank you very much for a wonderful holiday all of you gave me. I felt being at home with you and wish I could stay longer. Thank you very much for your hospitality and the everyday warm welcome when we came back from the game drives. My best wishes to all of you and I hope to come back.
