Kafue National Park is the largest and oldest national park in Zambia, covering an impressive 22,400 square kilometers. Established in 1924, it offers one of Africa’s most diverse and untouched wilderness areas. The park is known for its wide variety of habitats, including savannah, miombo woodlands, wetlands, and the spectacular Kafue River and Busanga Plains. These ecosystems support an abundance of wildlife, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, buffalo, hippos, and over 500 bird species. Kafue is one of the few places in Africa where you can spot rare species like the African wild dog, roan antelope, and sitatunga. Its remote nature and low visitor numbers provide a truly wild and uncrowded safari experience. Activities include game drives, walking safaris, birding, and boat safaris. With increasing conservation efforts and a range of intimate camps and lodges, Kafue is ideal for travelers seeking an authentic and off-the-beaten-path safari adventure.
