KaingU Safari Lodge sits on the Kafue River in the Kafue National Park. It is a beautiful setting, and a very peaceful place to stay. We were lucky they had room for us since we made a last minute decision. The drive took us from Lusaka toward Mongu in the western province about 2 hours on tar road, and then we turned off into the GMA (Game Management Area) and continued on dirt roads for the next 3 hours. Once we began driving on the dirt road, we began to hear some rattling underneath our vehicle. The cover that goes over our gas tank to protect it was hanging and had come loose from the bolts. Getting out of the vehicle to look at it was horrific - all the tsetse flies swarming around you and biting you. Ricky thought he was able to tighten the screws enough for us to continue. But later down the dirt road it began coming loose again, this time it broke from the bolt and was unfixable. We stopped and took the cover completely off so as not to have it just hanging there. We finally made it to our destination.
The lodge has been here since 2004. We ate all our meals with the owners here in the boma. The staff was very nice and provided us with as many activities as we wanted to do.
This is our view from the deck in front of the lodge.
This is our chalet we stayed in for 2 nights. It had an awesome view of the river!
We took a sunset cruise the first night. The river is full of huge boulders and there are numerous channels feeding the river. We stopped at one island of rocks and had a refreshing drink and the kids loved climbing on the big rocks. 
Look at this gorgeous sunset!
