Kafue, one of Africa's largest parks, shelters rich wildlife from Busanga Plains to its woodlands, uncrowded safari country.

📍 Destination Overview

Kafue National Park in west-central Zambia is among Africa's largest national parks. Its vast wilderness of rivers, woodlands, savanna and wetlands shelters elephants, lions, leopards and an exceptional variety of antelope. The seasonally flooded Busanga Plains are famed for antelope on golden grasslands and tree-climbing lions; vast and little visited, it suits deep safaris.
