About Kapani Lodge

  • Close Panel 

 Kapani is an exclusive, privately owned lodge on a lagoon in the game management area near the Luangwa River close to Mfuwe.  The lodge accommodates upto 12 guests in brick and thatch comfortable rooms.  All have high ceilings with fans and large gauze windows.  There are 5 deluxe suites with their own seating area and bar fridges and Lagoon House which overlooks the Kapani Lagoon and is perfect for honeymooners or guests requiring exxtra privacy.  Large groups of up to 18 guests can be accommodated on request.

The lodge has a central thatched building housing the lounge and library with a bar and dining area overlooking the lagoon with a spacious seating area.  There is a swimming pool at the other end of the lodge gardens to the dining area.  The viewing deck has a telescope to help with birding and game viewing from the lodge. 

Meals are usually served in the open under the shade of trees. There is a small gift shop with books and local crafts.

Kapani Lodge is the home camp of Norman Carr Safaris, one of the pioneer safari companies of Luangwa Valley.  Still run by Norman's family, Kapani has excellent guides and vehicles and several seasonal bushcamps deep inside the South Luangwa National Park.  We suggest a tailor made holiday to include some time at both Kapani and the bush camps.  Norman Carr was instrumental in setting up walking safaris in Zambia and guided bush walks are offered from Kapani and all of the bush camps, it is possible to actually link up walks between several of the bush camps.

Pricing guidelines for Zambia

  • Open Panel 

We hope the following will give you a rough idea of costs. These are quoted per person based on twin share for two people, without international flights but including internal flights. We’ve used good standard accommodation throughout. There are nearly always ways to spend more money than we’ve suggested (!), but these prices show a good and realistic range for each type of trip.

International flights will add from about £600 to £800 depending on the season and route (unless airlines have special offers). Zambia combines well with Malawi and Botswana.

For a specific personal quote based on any tailor made itinerary you have in mind, please contact us and we’ll be happy to help you.
