The largest national part in Africa. It locates in a good location not so far from Lusaka. Many wilde animals are anywhere. You will find a quiet and beautiful nature.
Kafue National Park is a wildlife enthusiast's paradise, teeming with diverse species in a vast, unspoiled landscape.. As Zambia's largest park, it offers a true safari experience with its rich animal populations, including the elusive leopard and majestic lions... The park's commitment to conservation is commendable, though some areas could benefit from enhanced facilities to enrich visitor experience. It's a must-visit for anyone wanting to connect with Africa's raw, natural beauty...
Kafue NP is truly wild and largely unexplored. This is a positive, if you are well prepared and want a unique experience. If, however, you are looking to do a "quick" game-drive on your own, this is not the place. The roads are mostly very poorly maintained and there are no signs or maps provided. I tried to get some guidance on distances from the rangers at the entrance gate, which turned out to be completely wrong. Nevertheless, if you know what you're in for, this is an amazing park.
It's has one of the beautiful animals on earth the views are incredible and perfect and you can surely enjoy been here
Kafue National Park, park, south-central Zambia. Established in 1950 and located about 200 miles (322 km) west of Lusaka, the park covers an area of 8,650 square miles (22,400 square km) and consists of a vast and gently undulating plateau, situated along the middle reaches of the Kafue River and its two tributaries, the Lufupa and the Lunga. The vegetation is lush and green, varying from mixed forest, thicket, woodland, and grass in the south to broad alluvial grassland and patches of evergreen forests in the north. Perennial swamps in the northwest drain into the Lufupa River via the Busanga floodplains. The park’s wildlife includes hippopotamus, buffalo, zebra, elephant, black rhinoceros, lion, sable, oribi, kudu, impala, roan antelope, eland, lechwe, gnu, sitatunga, duiker, and crocodile. There are numerous bird species, including openbill, saddlebill, wattled crane, crested crane, jucana, cormorant, Ross’s lourie, Boehm’s bee eater, black barbed barbet, fish eagle, marabou stork, and vulture. There are camps at Ngoma, Kalala, Nanzhila, Chunga, Kafwala, Lufupa, Moshi, and Ntemwa; safaris are conducted on foot.
A great place for getting away from civilization. Peaceful, but by no means quiet - there's always the chirping of one bird or another or the incessant cry of a hornbill (our son thought it was the cry of a human baby!) And of course, at night there's the occasional roar of a lion. The camp staff at Mayukuyuku camp said the lions were within 500 metres of our tent! The game-drives were good and the small downside is that some roads are not accessible during this (rain) season, so the number of animals to be seen is potentially reduced.
Kafue National Park is the largest National park in Zambia covering about 22,400 km². It is the second largest park in Africa and is home to over 55 different species of mammals.

The park is named for the Kafue River. It stretches over three provinces: North Western, Central and Southern. The main access is via the Great West Road from Lusaka to Mongu which crosses the park north of its centre, It's approximately a two Hour Drive Crossing the Park, You need To Follow Speed limit's of 80KM/H Day and 50KM/H Night Exceeding These limits you might Find Elephants Crossing Which might be Difficult for to Break and you might Cause an Accident, They Are Other Animals That are found Along The Road.
