The Lochinvar Estate has a genuine history as an “Out of Africa” colonial cattle ranch and farm. Bequeathed to the nation in 1904, the old colonial farmhouse still stands, under a preservation order but Lochinvar’s huge swath of unique wetland and floodplain savanna was returned to its wild state.

Today it is a World Heritage Wetland Site, situated on the Kafue River floodplain mid way between Livingstone and Lusaka. The Park is now the last stronghold of the Kafue Lechwe, an aquatic antelope of extraordinary grace. The exotic and beautiful Lochinvar Camp is an African fantasy under canvas. The tented lodge shelters under a mature grove of acacia trees on the edge of the wide Chunga Lagoon.

A "bird watcher’s" paradise with over 400 species recorded. In addition, the park contains approximately 30 000 Kafue lechwe, 2 000 Blue wildebeest and 700 Zebra. Greater kudu, Bushbuck, Oribi, Hippopotamus, Side-striped jackal, Reedbuck and Common waterbuck are also present. Lochinvar Camp offers game drives in open 4 x 4 vehicles. Water activities include mokoro (dug-out canoe) excursions. Wonderful walking safaris are also offered at the camp as well as special interest safaris e.g. birding, riverine ecology or questing for rare species such as the Sitatunga. A highlight for guests are the cultural visits to nearby traditional fishing villages, the invigorating hot springs as well as visits to interesting iron-age archaeological sites.
