Kafue is the largest national park in Zambia - roughly the size of Wales - and is home to the distinctive Kafue red lechwe and is a birder's paradise. The plains are a vast watery wilderness teeming with wildlife and the perfect hors d'oeuvre to Luangwa.
There are some great camps in Kafue, especially the Kapinga Camp and Shumba Camp.
Abercrombie & Kent's Kafue safari holidays are the perfect way to explore this vibrant region.
Suggested Kafue Accommodation
Kapinga Camp
Kapinga Camp lies within the Busanga Plains, in the extreme north of Kafue. For the ultimate in service and experience, contact Abercrombie & Kent.

Guest Testimonial
Quite simply excellent. If I could say one thing it is that Egypt is the place to go right now, as there were virtually no tourists at some of the sights and that,I should think, is quite rare!![]()
