Kafue National Park

About Kafue National Park

Found in the center of western Zambia, Kafue National Park is the oldest and largest of Zambia's national parks. It covers a massive 22,400 km2. First established as a National Park in the 1950s by the legendary Norman Carr, Kafue is one of the largest national parks in the whole of Africa.

Kafue National Park is a popular park because of its diversity; grasslands, forests, and floodplains. The Busanga Plains are a vast floodplain, fed by the Lufupa River. When the floodwaters recede, tiny shoots of grass appear, attracting huge herds of wildebeest, zebra, and antelope.

Along with great game viewing, part of the magic of Busanga lies in its scenery: expect spectacular pink sunrises punctuated by the silhouettes of antelope feeding in the early morning mist. Activities in the park include game drives, guided walking safaris, and night drives in search of leopards.

Best time to visit

The Best Time To Visit Kafue National Park is from July to October - the middle to the end of the Dry season. The bush has dried out and thirsty animals head to rivers and waterholes, which makes these the best months for wildlife viewing. The Busanga Plains are off-limits in the Wet season when they are flooded.

Wildlife

Among them several prides of lion, cheetah and leopard. Also packs of the endangered wild dog regularly pay a visit. Other animals that Kafue Wildlife includes are buffalo, zebra, hippo and various antelope species like impala, puku, sable, hartebeest, bushbuck, roan and waterbuck.
