Twice daily guests have the option to go on game drives into South Luangwa National Park. Safari vehicles are equipped with a shade roof and have 3 rows. At the Sunset House, your activities are all private. During the peak season (April to October) game drives access the park directly at Kafunta's pontoon.

The afternoon game drive stops for sundowners and continue into a night drive using spotlights, to find smaller nocturnal animals or predators on the hunt.

South Luangwa is the birthplace of walking safaris. Bush walks bring another dimension to a safari, focusing on smaller things, birds and flora while observing animals in the distance. Bush walks are not strenuous, but can take place over rugged terrain, lasting usually 3 to 4 hours. Qualified walking guides and escort scout are a must. Unfortunately children under the age of 12 are not authorised to participate.

Kafunta Safaris highly recommend a visit to the village of Mfuwe where Project Luangwa has a visitor center where one can learn about the many projects benefiting local education and communities, there is also a café and a craftshop . It is also possible to organise a side trip to the Mulberry Mongoose jewellery workshop and to the iconic Tribal Textiles factory and shop and its Artisan market. In Central Mfuwe there is also the Conservation South Luangwa visitor center to learn more about conservation efforts. Great for younger visitors is the Chipembele Wildlife Educational Center only 20 minutes away from us. A small donation for visiting the center is welcome.

Kafunta River Lodge features a small, intimate spa with an array of relaxing treatments performed by an on-site therapist.
