Kafue National Park covers a massive area in western Zambia.
It’s known for its abundant wildlife and the Kafue River, running north to south through the park.
In the north, the fertile Busanga Plains are home to lions, zebras, abundant birdlife, and the sycamore fig trees of Busanga Swamps.
In the more remote south, elephants and antelopes roam the Nanzhila Plains, and hippos swim in the waters of Lake Itezhi-Tezhi.
Established in 1950, Kafue is Zambia’s oldest national park. It is the second largest wildlife sanctuary in the world, spanning 22,400 square kilometers (8,650 square miles) of spectacular African wilderness.
Spread over such a vast area, the Kafue National Park offers visitors excellent game viewing, birdwatching, and fishing adventures.
