Game Drives

In addition to our three top-of-the-line game vehicles, we proudly offer Zambia's very first Electronic Landrover (e-Landy). This innovative vehicle lets you experience the bush in near silence while demonstrating a commitment to environmental stewardship. The eLandy is conveniently stationed near camp, perfect for short excursions or quick trips, like the 'dinner table dash' to investigate nighttime sounds or get a closer look at distant lion calls.

On the park side of the river, our three premium game viewers are easily accessible with a brief boat ride—an enjoyable way to start your day!

Our expert guides are masters of their craft, and spending a morning or afternoon with them will reveal the park’s diverse wildlife. Regular sightings include lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and a variety of antelopes such as roan, sable, and zebra, as well as hippo, crocodile, warthog, genet, jackal, mongoose, and lively baboons and monkeys. For those seeking rarer encounters, you might spot wild dog, cheetah, honey badger, civet, serval, bushpig, porcupine, or bushbaby.

You’ll find that the small wonders of the bush are just as captivating as the larger game.

Whether you’re an experienced angler targeting specific species or a beginner eager to catch a big bream, our guides will provide invaluable assistance. We offer basic equipment on site, but for the best experience, we recommend bringing your own gear if you have it. The Kafue River is teeming with catfish (barbel) and the formidable tiger fish, known for their impressive teeth. You might also encounter tilapia and other diverse freshwater species, ensuring a rich and varied fishing adventure.

Our Conservation Itinerary

Ila Community Garden: Located at Nalusanga Gate, the entrance to Kafue National Park, this project supports local communities by helping them grow and sell fresh produce. Lodge guests and travellers can purchase these products as they enter the park.

Chunga School: If you have extra space in your luggage, consider bringing supplies for the Chunga Community, such as pens, educational books, medicines, and sports equipment. Chunga School, which serves children aged 6 to 16, would greatly benefit from these donations.

Conservation Itinerary: We also actively support conservation efforts through partnerships with organisations like By Life Connected, Panthera, and the Zambian Carnivore Project. Ask about our Conservation Itinerary to learn how you can contribute to these impactful initiatives during your visit.
