Kapani Lodge was founded by Norman Carr, widely credited as the pioneer of the walking safari, and remains one of South Luangwa’s most historically significant properties.
Rooms & Table
The Rooms
Thatched chalets set around a lagoon, each with a private veranda overlooking the water.
Food & Service
A warm, personal dining programme consistent with the lodge’s long-established, family-run character.
Activities
Walking safaris across South Luangwa, following the tradition established by the lodge’s founder, alongside game drives.
Wildlife & Photography
South Luangwa holds exceptional leopard density alongside elephant, hippo and large herds of puku along the Luangwa River.
A Photographer's Note
The lagoon setting draws consistent birdlife and general game to the water’s edge, visible directly from camp.
Conservation & Impact
Kapani’s associated Kawaza and Malama community programmes were among the first community-tourism partnerships established in the Luangwa Valley.
