June 2019 Newsletter

July 7, 2019 /0 Comments/in /by

So back in May we had the mini marathon and so June kicked off with the Kaingu 100m sprint.  As Joel (barman) had sat out the mini-marathon we had no idea that he was going to take the honours in the 100m! Anyway, before all that on the way to our super track (i.e. the […]

The Itumbi Community Schools & Crowdfunding

June 17, 2019 /0 Comments/in /by

Since 2006 Kaingu Lodge has been extremely active in developing and supporting the Itumbi Community Primary School. Through fundraising (mostly through our guests) we have been able to see the completion of a three classroom primary school in Itumbi (or Kaingu) village. We have been able (by contributing part of every guest’s stay) to pay […]

Our very own community health worker

June 9, 2019 /0 Comments/in /by

Patson Kandundwe joined us last year after we started actively looking for a locally based trainee Chef. He stood out among the rest of the applicants due to his seriousness, past activities and the fact that he obviously had the respect of his peers and the community. Prior to joining us he served as a […]

May Newsletter

May 30, 2019 /0 Comments/in /by

Its that time of the month again.  Time to recap and review the month of May here at Kaingu Lodge.  We kicked off the month with a mini marathon and this (health!) became a bit of a recurring theme later in the month as well.  The mini marathon was great fun.  We had a day […]

April 2019 News

April 30, 2019 /0 Comments/in /by

Sometimes I hesitate to really call these newsletters as it tends to just be an image based re-cap of the month. Anything newsworthy for sure is always included I suppose though.  Mostly we just try to show what the month at the lodge has looked like through pictures and a few words.  Apart from the […]

Kaingu Lodge Soap Production

April 29, 2019 /0 Comments/in /by

We have posted before about how at Kaingu Lodge we make as many personal touches as possible.  These ‘touches’ range from recycled furniture through ‘Monkey Finger’ jam and welcome drinks and on to almost every aspect of the guest experience.  But we are now doing something that we believe is pretty unique.  Something that when […]

March News

April 28, 2019 /0 Comments/in /by

Firstly our sincere apologies for being so late with our March news.  We are writing this at the end of April!  I think subconsciously I wanted to see the end of the rains before we started talking about camp opening and the start of the season and all that.  Why?  Well I am not going […]

Benny’s tale

April 17, 2019 /0 Comments/in /by

Here at Kaingu Lodge we are proud of our staff and the way we have been able to expand the number of people that we employ. We firmly believe that the only way that such large protected areas as Kafue National Park can survive is by their existence being justified by the neighbouring local communities […]

November News

December 2, 2018 /0 Comments/in /by

So as we write this on the second of December the season is (almost) over.  The last lodge guests are packing their bags and while there are still some camping guests over the next weeks our season is basically closed.  Everything gets packed away now and the green season teams do their thing. But anyway […]

October News

November 27, 2018 /0 Comments/in /by

Blog post/news time already!  We literally cannot understand where the season has gone.  We are now almost at the end of November and writing about October.  Meanwhile it seemed like yesterday when we were opening up. October is traditionally the ‘best’ safari month.  The month when the sightings are at their peak.  Sightings in October […]
