Highlights 
- The Kafue is still relatively undeveloped, Busanga and Lunga are both
truly remote seasonal camps - they've become firm favourites of ours, they're
quite simply the the best in the Park
- The Kafue is regarded as Africa's best spot for antelope - this safari
focuses on the best of the northern sector of the Kafue. It's an area
well recognized for finding predators and is a birding enthusiast's favourite.
-
Unusual species such as oribi, sitatunga, roan antelope and Lichenstein’s
hartebeest along with the now rare cheetah and an abundance of plains game –
wildebeest, puku and lechwe whom attract a high concentration of lions.
-
Close encounters are common with the Kafue lions that are well habituated. A
very special feature is the fact the Busanga lions are tree climbers and
seeing a whole pride up a giant fig tree is not uncommon.
- A helicopter
is used for the transfers between the Kafue and Lusaka
- Night drives are conducted
on this trip, a well reputed competitor of
ours regards the Lufupa as the best spot in Africa for spotting
leopard - we agree that chances are very good on this safari!
Best time of the year
- This safari runs has a short season from June to early November only
- Game concentrations are at their peak during September and October,
birding is best at the beginning or end of the season - bear in mind that
it's getting very hot just before the rains arrive in November
Best Access
- Access is best via charter aircraft from Livingstone, Lusaka, Mfuwe or
Jeki - this safari is currently priced with return flights in and out
of Lusaka. Speak to us about how best to stitch together other
connections.
- Although quite feasible
at the peak of the dry season we don't recommend any drive in transfers
Tips and notes
- Geographically the Kafue is an ideal stop over in combination with the
Luangwa, lower Zambezi and Victoria Falls hubs
- Any light aircraft transfers have a strict baggage limit of 12kg in soft
bags
- Speak to us about seasonal specials that either combine the Kafue, Luangwa
and lower Zambezi
- This safari can be started on any day of the week
