Kafue National Park
Kafue National Park
Kafue National Park takes its name from the Kafue River, which flows through the heart of the park and gives life to one of Zambia’s most remarkable wildernesses. Covering vast floodplains, miombo woodland, dambos and riverine habitats, Kafue is one of Africa’s largest national parks and remains wonderfully wild and uncrowded. Its remote landscapes support an extraordinary diversity of wildlife, including lion, leopard, cheetah, wild dog, hippo and large herds of red lechwe, making it a destination for those seeking a more exclusive and untamed safari experience.
Kafue at a Glance
Wildlife
A vast wilderness rich in habitats and wildlife, Kafue National Park is home to an extraordinary cast of African species. Lion, leopard, cheetah and African wild dog patrol its woodlands and floodplains, while vast herds of red lechwe, puku, sable and hartebeest move through the open plains. Hippos gather in the rivers and lagoons, elephants roam the miombo woodland, and more than 500 bird species bring colour and movement to the landscape. With an expert guide leading the way, each safari reveals the intricate relationships between predator and prey in one of Zambia’s last truly wild landscapes.
Vegetation
Kafue’s vast wilderness is shaped by a mosaic of miombo woodlands, open grasslands, dambos and seasonal floodplains. The woodland provides shelter and food for elephants, antelope and countless smaller species, while the open Busanga Plains burst into life with seasonal grasses and floodwaters. Rivers, lagoons and wetlands weave through this landscape, creating one of Zambia’s most diverse and visually striking wilderness ecosystems.
