Royal Livingstone Hotel

Kapinga Camp

Kapinga Camp is situated in the extreme north of the Kafue National Park, and in the north-west corner of the Busanga Plains. The camp has been designed to blend in with the environment and natural products have been used as much as possible in the construction of the camp.

Kakuli Bush Camp

Kakuli Bush Camp is one of the few Zambian and Luangwa bush camps to open in February and March. At this time of year, the river is high, we gain access by boat and activities are either on the river or on foot in the drier, sandy areas that surround the camp, spectacular wildlife.

Shumba Camp

Shumba Camp is situated in the northern region of the Kafue National Park, in the famed Busanga Plains area. The Plains, covering approximately 750 square kilometers, is considered one of Zambia's most important wetlands as well as a wildlife paradise with a wealth of plains game, predators and birds.

Luwi Bush Camp

Due to its remote location, there are not many roads in the area so activities are centered on walking safaris. This fact makes Luwi Bush Camp one of the most enthralling camps in Zambia. The wildlife in the area is prolific and to track it each day on foot is a memory that will last a lifetime.
