Kafue National Park is one of the largest game reserves in the world and is Zambia's oldest Park. On safari at Kafue expect to see plenty of antelope including important populations of Defassa waterbuck and Red lechwe, which was on the brink of extinction 50 years ago. Bird watching is exceptional, with over 400 species common to the area.

Kafue National Park spans 22 400 square kilometres and is one of the larger national parks. Bird watching is exceptional, with over 400 species common to the area. The wild landscape varies from the Busanga Plains in the northwest, to richly green areas in the south, all nourished by the Lunga, Lufupa and Kafue Rivers.

In the north of Kafue National Park, the sparkling rivers feed thick riverine forest and striking miombo woodland. The diversity of game is astounding – the floodplains teem with herds of antelope often stalked by predators. Due to the rainy season many camps and lodges in this area close between November and March.
