Overview

Venture into Zambia’s largest and oldest national park, where untamed wilderness and abundant wildlife await. Kafue National Park spans over 22,400 square kilometers, offering a remote and untouched safari experience. Unlike the busier parks, Kafue is a hidden gem with diverse landscapes—from vast floodplains and dense woodlands to the meandering Kafue River. This park is home to an incredible variety of wildlife, including large lion prides, elusive leopards, and one of the highest concentrations of wild dogs in Africa.

For those seeking an authentic, off-the-beaten-path safari, Kafue delivers unmatched tranquility and adventure. Witness thousands of red lechwe grazing in the Busanga Plains, spot cheetahs sprinting across the savanna, and enjoy mesmerizing sunsets over the river while hippos and crocodiles bask in the golden light.
