None of this happens by accident, it happens due to a culture of outstanding service that starts at the very top. We also had a top-3 ever guiding experience from Braston, who’s both incredibly competent and driven, and super charismatic with an amazing sense of humor and a love of his profession.

have been going to the Shenton’s camps Kaingo and Mwamba every year since 2010 only missing time during the Covid crisis. They are wonderful and my piece of heaven when i am there. I have taken friends on numerous occasions and will be going back this year in October with my nephew. I have been there every month from June thru October and even into November. I love the Shenton’s, their guides especially Patrick and Sly, all their staff from the kitchen to the wonderful folks that take care of the rooms. I always go to both camps because it is impossible for me not to stay in both camps because I love them both.
