Kafue Wildlife Safari in Zambia

Today you will be met at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport in Lusaka and transferred by a comfortable private car to your lodge located just outside the Kafue National Park. During the long drive, you will leave the hustle and bustle of the city and slowly immerse yourself in the unique soothing atmosphere of the African bush. Upon arrival at the lodge, you may opt to simply relax at the lodge or take an afternoon activity.

Accommodation: Mukambi Safari Lodge or similar

You will spend the full day exploring the Kafue National Park and enjoying the variety of activities offered by your lodge, including morning and afternoon game drives, walking safaris, boat trips on the Kafue River. Everyone has their own individual preferences and you can choose the activities that you are interested in. You will have opportunity to experience African wildlife such as elephants, lions, leopards, wild dogs, cheetahs, hippos, crocodiles as well as antelope and plenty of birds.

After lunch, you could just relax in the outdoor terrace overlooking the expansive Kafue River before participating in more game activities in the afternoon. Enjoy dinner under a starry African sky upon your return.

Today you will take an approximately 5-hour game drive to the Busanga Plains, located in the northern part of the Kafue National Park. The Busanga Plains can provide a fantastic and unique wilderness experience with few other vehicles around. It is also considered one of the best places for game viewing in the whole Kafue National Park. After checking into your luxury safari tent, you can either sunbathe on the wooden deck to experience the peace of nature, or venture out on an afternoon game drive to explore the surrounding areas.

During the following two days you will have many opportunities to get to know the plain better. The Getaway magazine once mentioned Busanga as one of the 'top 10 secret gems of Africa'. This area consists of a vast flood plain that dries up after the rainy season and attracts a large number of amazing birds. It is a truly magical place where you are able to experience a wide variety of wildlife and bird species.

Walking safaris are usually arranged shortly after sunrise to avoid the heat of the day and on the plains surrounding the camp. Game drives are usually proceeded at sunrise and at night.

Today is another day to explore this untouched wilderness area. Morning begins with a game drive to encounter the predators, like lion, cheetah, leopard and wild dog. In the late afternoon, you may enjoy electric bicycle safari or birding. If you wish to make this day easier and more comfortable, simply relax at the camp's pool or have a rest in your tent overlooking the plains. Night is the most peaceful time, and you can wind down by watching the stars and reflecting on these days.

Return to the lodge in the early afternoon, followed by a tea break and afternoon activities including a sunset cruise or afternoon game drives. You will still have the opportunity to experience what you might have missed during the last few days.
