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.

Rates on request. No published rate card.
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 Lunga Kikuji Camp
Is Lunga Kikuji Camp good for families?
Yes. The camp's own page states it welcomes all ages, unlike most Kafue camps that leave a minimum age unstated. With only four tents sleeping two each, it works better for one family travelling together than a larger group, so check tent availability before you book.
Can you self-drive to Lunga Kikuji Camp?
Reach it by road or boat from Kafue River Lodge, according to the camp's own page, rather than a dedicated airstrip of its own; our record lists Lufupa as the nearest airstrip, by arrangement. Given how remote the Lunga River setting is, confirm the current route with Northern Kafue Safaris before travelling.
What does the rate at Lunga Kikuji Camp include?
The camp's own page lists park fees, accommodation, all meals, all local drinks, safari activities, bed levies and laundry in the rate, excluding gratuities and external transfers. Our record and the operator's site differ on the exact nightly figure, so confirm current pricing directly with Northern Kafue Safaris.
When is Lunga Kikuji Camp open?
The camp's own page lists a season running from 1 March to 31 December, closed only in January and February. That is a longer window than most Kafue camps manage, reflecting its river setting rather than the plains, where flooding forces a much shorter season elsewhere.
How many tents does Lunga Kikuji Camp have?
Four tents, each sleeping a maximum of two guests, for eight people in total, according to the camp's own page. That small scale suits the camp's pitch as a second or third Kafue visit, for travellers whose priority is distance from every other camp in the park.
