While Kafue National Park in Zambia is not the most-visited of the African safari parks, it is undoubtedly one of the best. Experience traditional wildlife safaris and game drives as you plunge further into the Busanga Plains, where you will see elephants, puku, impala, warthog, hartebeest, and zebra. With such a menu to choose from, you'll also spot the area's main predators, including leopards, cheetah, and prides of lions. Activities cover water, land, and even air - game drives in open air vehicles during both the day and night; excursions on the rivers and deltas to see the hippos & crocodiles and the animals who brave these waters for a drink; and some safari camps even offer hot air balloon rides for a different perspective. Whether a 3-5 day extension to your expedition or an independent weeklong excursion, Kafue never disappoints. Contact us to start planning today.
