Explore
Being one of the lesser known Zambian parks, the Kafue National Park is predominantly untouched; an invitation for the intrepid explorer. A venture through this park satiates one’s appetite for intimate safari experiences, providing a sensory journey, dawn till dusk.
The Kafue National Park is named after it’s quintessential life source, the Kafue River, sustaining the abundant and biodiverse wildlife populations. Being the lifeblood of the region, entering the park from the North East corner and spanning 250 km, it hosts a variety of habitats along its winding riverine banks.
Wildlife
The ecological biodiversity of the park showcases a wide range of bird species. In the park alone there are 499 recorded species, drawn to the different habitats from Miombo Woodland, to Acacia scrubland, the Busanga floodplains and the riverine and swamp habitats.
From roan and sable, red lechwe and hartebeest to the endemic puku, the ungulate population is impressive and plentiful – a wonderful opportunity to appreciate the ecological significance and aesthetic value of this species.
Due to the abundance of plains game, the predator population of the park is prolific. The possibility of a feline encounter on a game drive or bush walk keeps the ‘wild’ in wilderness, and the adrenalin pumping in anticipation. Leopard, cheetah and lion roam with confidence. This is their kingdom.
