Instant Booking Available

Kafue National Park is Zambia's largest national park and the fourth largest in the world! With such a vast area (over 23,000 sq km), the park has plenty on offer and enough space to really get away from the crowds and enjoy the African bush. The vegetation changes from lush swampland to grassy plains to woodlands, depending on the area of the park. World renowned for its night game drives, Kafue National Park offers superb chances of spotting the shy nocturnal leopard. In addition, there are lion, elephant, buffalo, hyena, croc, hippo, kudu, lechwe and other antelope. Over 400 species of birds have been recorded in this park alone!

DAY 1 (Lunch and Dinner)

We depart early from Livingstone and travel north towards Kafue National Park.  Our lunch spot today will be enjoyed in Lusaka, the capital of Zambia.  We then head on to Kafue National Park and enter the Park using the Lusaka-Mongu road where we have our first opportunity of chancing game as we meander towards Mayukuyuku camp.  This evening guests will have our first opportunity to learn about African campfire cooking and assist with preparing traditional dishes.  After a stunning sunset, the evening will be spent around the campfire swapping stories and enjoying the sounds of the Kafue nightfall.

DAY 2 (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner)

We awake for sunrise and some steaming hot drinks before we venture out for a 3 hour morning game drive.  We will have amble opportunity to take in the wide variety of mammals, birds, amphibians and reptiles, which this park is famous for.  Cheetah, eland, sable, elephant, zebra, roan, waterhog and lion are common sightings!  Back at our camp, your guide will prepare a delicious lunch, and there will be some time to relax and enjoy before a casual afternoon boat cruise on Kafue river. This three hour cruise will give us another opportunity to see the huge red African sun set across the wilds.

DAY 3 (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner)

After breakfast, we will each have a choice of either a morning fishing excursion, river safari or a participatory canoe safari.  After a well deserved lunch, we will depart for a late afternoon game drive.   As the night falls, we’ll each take turns with the spot light to find the solitary game in the dark of the park.  This is our best chance for gazing up on the shy and nocturnal leopard, the most elusive of the African Big Five!

DAY 4 (Breakfast and Lunch)

Our early morning will be spent leisurely driving to the gates of Kafue National Park for our last chance of game sightings, as we head back to Lusaka. We will have a stop over at Choma Museum for our Lunch and a chance to have a tour of the museum. Then we head back to Livingstone and you will be dropped at your Hotel of choice.
