Kafue National Park
Zambia’s oldest and largest park
Busanga Plains – Zambia’s answer to the Okavango Delta
Interesting spectrum of wildlife
Situated just over an hour by air from the capital Lusaka, Kafue National Park is the oldest and largest park in Zambia.
Kafue National Park sits at a height of 1350 m above sea level and covers 22’400 km². The three rivers Lufupa, Lunga and Kafue all carve their way through the park before being blocked by the Itezhi Tezhi Dam in its southern part.

The northern part of the park is home to the spectacular Busanga Plains, which flood during the wet season and gradually dry up again as October approaches. Flooding reaches its peak in March/April. Most camps open in May/June and close again in November when the rains arrive.
