My story

Andrea Porro, founder and owner of Konkamoya, was born and raised 

in Milan. His interest in wild animals from childhood led him towards zoology and natural sciences as an area of study. 

Combined with a passion for photography, he has travelled to a vast array of destinations worldwide, including in 2007 to Zambia, where he discovered the Kafue National Park and the incredible variety in its biodiversity. Following repeat visits to the park, he “fell utterly 

in love” and decided on a change of direction for his life.


“From my hometown of Milan in Italy, I loved everything I owned 

to the place that is now Konkamoya on Lake Itezhi-Tezhi. 

My vision was to share this magical space and its surroundings with 

a few guests – no more than eight at a time – and to continue the close encounters I had experienced in this remote, wild, lesser-known part 

of the park with them.”


Building not only the structure of Konkamoya but also the brand has been a passion for Andrea – and his persona embodies the camp. 

He has directed and led his Team to create a masterpiece, handcrafting furniture from sustainable wood sources, developing and honing the skills of the local craftspeople to ensure that each piece reflects the exacting standards that you would expect of someone from Milan. 


Every detail, from the environmentally conscious power systems to the design of the kitchen, is defined by him, resulting in the embodiment of a camp that is a home shared with guests that will find every comfort they require and a welcome as warm as you could expect from Italians.
