KAFUE

‘Boasts the highest diversity of antelope in any one park in Africa & bird species diversity that is unmatched’

Highlights:
  • Home to large prides of ‘shumba’ (lions), that are extremely well-habituated and have been known to even jump up & sit on the wooden decks of some of the camps.
  • Hot-air ballooning at sunrise over the misty floodplains with the glow of the orange sun as it rises is simply spectacular.
  • An abundance of unusual plains game such as the puku, lechwe & roan.
  • A birder’s paradise.
