At Kafunta Safaris, we believe marble bathrooms or thread counts don’t define true luxury; it’s about space, silence, and the privilege of reconnecting with the wild. Most recently, we’ve shared this philosophy in leading travel magazines and safari journals, where we talk about rethinking safaris and why we say that luxury is a feeling

 

Below you’ll find some of our published features and collaborations that explore what makes a safari in Zambia’s South Luangwa so unique.

Read more about how Kafunta Safaris invites travellers to slow down and reconnect in one of Africa’s most spectacular wilderness areas.
