Kafue National Park
Located in the middle of western Zambia, Kafue National Park is the largest of Zambia’s national parks.
Kafue was founded 1950’s by Norman Carr, a famous figure in Zambian tourism.
Kafue is one of Africa’s largest national parks and is very accessible from Livingstone, which is just a two-hour drive away.
Kafue remains little-visited and much of the park is unexplored with large areas still untouched.
Thanks to its size and variety of habitat types the Kafue holds a fantastic diversity of wildlife.
The wildlife in Kafue is now enjoying a higher level of protection by the Zambian Wildlife Authority, always aided and supported by the operators in and adjoining the park.
Highlights of Kafue:
- Kafue epitomises all the remote, wild and diverse characteristics of the Zambian wilderness
- The vast Busanga Plains are perhaps the prime wildlife viewing destination in the country
- Despite its remoteness, Kafue is easily accessible from both Lusaka and Livingstone
- Walking Safaris in Kafue are excellent and night drives in the National Park are also a highlight of a Kafue Safari.
