Kafue National Park is an icon amongst Zambia’s National Parks. Found in the centre of western Zambia in the 1950’s, Kafue National Park is the oldest and largest of Zambia’s national parks. It covers a massive 22,400 km2.
The park is easily accessed from both Lusaka and Livingstone with a 2-3-hour drive although many prefer to fly in with charter flights. Thanks to its size and variety of habitat types the Kafue holds a fantastic diversity of wildlife. Its attraction is its exclusivity and excellent game viewing with barely another soul in sight.
The luxurious safari lodges will provide the base for an incredible Kafue safari where the huge variety of birdlife (490 recorded) and large herds of red lechwe, puku antelope, wildebeest and antelope are constantly watched by big cats, spotted hyena and wild dogs.
Kafue National Park, one of the largest in Africa, has many varied habitats: the Kafue, Lufupa and Lunga rivers with adjoining peaceful stretches of riverine vegetation, dambos and wetlands, extensive miombo woodland with seasonal floodplains and swampland in the north. Owing to this diversity, Kafue is blessed in wildlife.

Busanga Bush Camp lies in the heart of the Busanga Plains, a vast mosaic of expansive grassy seasonal floodplains that extend to the horizon. When the mist rises off the floodplains as they dry up in winter, incredible sunrises and sunsets are experienced here, while the floodplains and dambos teem with wildlife and birds. The camp, nestled in a vegetated island of fig trees, can accommodate eight guests in four well-appointed tents. A special experience is an exclusive hot air balloon ride (August – October), ending with champagne breakfast.
Shumba Camp is situated in the centre of the Busanga Plains close to permanent water and within easy access of the teeming floodplains. Shumba is named after a favourite species in the area: its large prides of lion that are often seen right next to camp – or even, unusually, in trees. Viewing of this and other species is possible from the comfort of the tent or main deck, while the camp’s fig trees ensure both shade and constant bird activity. Shumba Camp comprises six spacious luxury safari tents, all on raised platforms with spectacular views.
