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.
