May 2026 Newsletter Highlights

Dear Kafunta Friends! 

 

It’s May already and our 2026 season is already rocking. Apologies for the delay in sending out our first newsletter, we’re not entirely sure how time has gone by so quickly! 

Everyone is back on deck at the main lodge, and the construction of the bush camps is progressing nicely, for opening on the 25th of May. 

The Cowan family

Ron, Luke and Anke Cowan are also on site, making Kafunta the true family home again. 

The team has grown a bit as well with Rona now Lodge Manager, assisted by Mucha, a great addition to the crew. 

The team at Kafunta

You will see some great staff photos in our full newsletter, as we had a visit from a photographer who spend a few days with our team specifically. It’s great to focus on the people who are the backbone of the company. 

Wildlife at its best

The park is super green thanks to late rains, and it constitutes a beautiful background for wildlife photos. 

 

Sightings have been fabulous already. You can see that new lion cubs are around. The cutest things! 

And lots more you can discover in our full newsletter.
