Kafue National Park:

This remarkable park, due to its remoteness and untouched qualities, gives visitors the feeling of having the park all to themselves on safari in Kafue, Zambia.

Kafue National Park, located in the central western region of Zambia is really an underrated safari destination. Kafue National Park is isolated and has an underdeveloped tourist infrastructure making safaris here a more rugged experience, but immensely rewarding.

The northern section of the park is often spoken of as an undiscovered gem. The floodplains, fed by the Lufupa River recede after flooding, creating rich grasslands which attract many antelope.

The south of the park is characterised by Kalahari Sandveld, Mopane forests and grasslands. Three great rivers feed the park the Lungu, Lufupa and Kafue, attracting a great diversity of wildlife.

Along the Kafue River there is a profusion of game and birdlife, but thats not all, away from the river banks a whole new world opens up on the grasslands and amongst the wide variety of woodlands.

A diverse array of wildlife species including 150 different mammals and an astonishing 470 species of bird live harmoniously together making it really essential for guests on safari in Kafue, Zambia to take advantage and explore all the different habitats.

Kafue National Park has for the past 20 years been all but ignored with a lack funding and investment  this is now changing and considerable effort is being applied to restore the park to its original glory. Ironically, those years may have preserved its rawness.

The animals are returning in ever increasing numbers and these Zambia safari lodges have risen to the occasion to provide guests with a tremendous opportunity to fully appreciate this pristine and magnificent wilderness.
