Inside the park
Owner/family-run
Four huge tents alone on the in-park lakeshore, with a night-drive programme built around mapped aardvark burrows that gives you a real shot at one of Africa's hardest animals. Be aware the lake itself is severely depleted after two drought seasons, so come for the game, not for lake scenery.

What the park charges on top
The rate above buys you a bed. Kafue National Park charges its own entry fee for every day you are inside. Here is what that adds up to.
- Park entryThere is no self-drive surcharge here.
- $20per person, per day
- VehicleForeign-registered vehicle under 3 tonnes.
- $15per vehicle, per day
Three nights means three days inside, so two adults sharing one vehicle pay $165 in park fees before anyone pays for a bed.
The full fee schedule for Kafue National ParkRates at Konkamoya Lodge
From $850 pppn. All-inclusive with park fees included. The figure is a directory rate; the lodge's own site publishes none, so confirm when booking.
What the rate covers is not confirmed. We do not know yet whether meals, drinks and activities are included, so read this as the bed only.
Every figure on this page is in US dollars.
Indicative 2026 rates from operators' own rate cards and published tariffs, gathered July 2026. Many Kafue camps quote on enquiry only. Watch two things when comparing: whether park fees are included (Mayukuyuku and Konkamoya include them, most others do not), and conservation levies of $30 to $40 a night at some camps. A caution on older guides: Lufupa River Camp, Lufupa Tented Camp, Leopard Lodge and Puku Pan all appear closed or dormant, Mukambi Plains Camp is simply the old name of Busanga Plains Camp, and the Jeffery & McKeith brand merged into Classic Zambia Safaris. We list none of them as live options.
Questions about Konkamoya Lodge
Is Konkamoya Lodge good for families?
The four tents can take up to ten guests when configured for families, against a normal maximum of eight, according to our record. We found no published minimum age for children on the lodge's own site or in our record, so confirm what age Konkamoya accepts before booking a family configuration.
What does the rate at Konkamoya Lodge include?
Konkamoya runs all-inclusive with park fees built into the rate, at around $850 per person per night by our own directory estimate, since the lodge's own site publishes no rate card. Confirm the current figure directly with Konkamoya when you book, rather than relying on this as a quote.
Does Konkamoya Lodge have Wi-Fi?
Not in the evenings, by design. Our record describes fire-on, Wi-Fi-off evenings at the lodge, which runs entirely on solar power. Daytime connectivity is not stated on the lodge's own site, so ask directly if you need to stay reachable during the day.
What is special about night drives at Konkamoya Lodge?
Konkamoya runs after-dinner drives built around mapped aardvark burrows, giving a real chance at one of Africa's hardest animals to see, according to our record. That focus, alongside its position as the only lodge on the in-park shore of Lake Itezhi-Tezhi, is what sets its night-drive programme apart.
When is Konkamoya Lodge open, and is the lake worth seeing?
The lodge is open from 1 April to 7 January. Our record notes the lake itself is severely depleted after two drought seasons, so come for the game around the shoreline rather than for lake scenery, and ask Konkamoya for a current update on water levels before you travel.
