    I have met the Kafunta Team many times over the years, so it was really helpful to see it for myself. I have also had clients here. I was impressed by the attention to detail throughout, and the rooms were extremely comfy. The guiding and catering were good, and I received a very warm welcome. The price is very good compared to many other camps, and the standard is high. The Sunset House has definite possibilities going forward.

    I have brought many small groups to Kafunta’s properties over the years, and every visit leaves us completely delighted by the balance, friendliness, variety, and care that define the authentic experience of the Luangwa Valley. Kafunta River Lodge sets the tone beautifully, with superb catering, exciting game drives, and exceptional comfort. Sunset House provides the perfect place to unwind in private, with every detail thoughtfully anticipated. Three Rivers Camp offers the thrill of close wildlife encounters, superb star beds, and a stunning river setting, while Island Bush Camp allows you to truly settle into the bush, enjoying guided walks, peaceful surroundings, and warm, attentive hosting in an intimate environment. I have been returning to Kafunta’s camps for decades, and they continue to exceed expectations. Kafunta creates happy places that evolve gently with guests’ needs, while preserving the spirit of South Luangwa. It’s very special, I never tire of coming back.
