Kafue National Park

Kafue National Park is the oldest park in Zambia and also one of the most extensively protected areas in the world. The park offers a rich diversity of fauna and therefore, offers an abundant habitat for many animals. We continue to the luxurious Bush Camp, which is situated in a secluded part of the park. Predators such as lions, cheetahs, leopards and hyenas are regular visitors here, as is the wild dog. The tented chalets stand on high platforms overlooking the Shishamba River. Various animals can be spotted at the lagoon in front of the boma where they come to quench their thirst.
