Wilderness Safaris Explorations Zambia
KAFUE'S RIVERS AND PLAINS
A Discoverer Exploration - 7 nights / 8 days
Tour direction: Lusaka to Lusaka
Combination Wilderness Vintage, Discoverer and Classic camps in the northern
part of Kafue National Park.
TAILOR-MADE ITINERARY OPTIONS ARE ALSO AVAILABLE ON FLEXIBLE DATES, FOR
GROUPS OF UP TO EIGHT GUESTS.
Kafue National Park, Zambia's largest protected area, is easily accessible from
Livingstone and Lusaka. It extends over 22 400 square kilometres and is roughly
the size of Wales. This enormous and underdeveloped pristine wilderness area is
home to an impressive variety of big game including lion, leopard, cheetah,
elephant, buffalo and hippo. In addition, the Kafue conserves some fascinating
species of special interest including Lichtenstein's hartebeest, sable, roan,
puku, the diminutive oribi, and, incredibly, lechwe in their thousands. Boasting
almost 500 recorded bird species, Kafue is truly a diverse African national park
and one of its last "wild frontiers".
The spectacular Busanga Plains in the north of the Park is a vast flat expanse
and forms one of Zambia's most significant wetland resources. This enormous
watery wilderness, flooded in the wet season (mid-December to end May) by
several rivers and tributaries, covers an enormous 750 square kilometres. After
the rains the floods reach their height from March to May, and large pods of
hippo are to be found in the shallow pools that are left as the water recedes in
the dry season.
Kafue, combined with the cascading waters of the thundering Victoria Falls (one
of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World), creates a short yet diverse
itinerary that is perfect for add-on tailored extensions to Cape Town, Botswana,
Luangwa and Malawi.
Experience a nostalgic, old-style luxury serviced camping / lodge safari that
recreates the sense of a game-viewing adventure reminiscent of the times of the
great African explorers in the vast Kafue National Park.
Discoverer-styled camps aim to bring the guest closer to nature, by means of a
lively campfire and hurricane lanterns. Wide-ranging activities complement the
comfort and added luxury of the lodges visited. Discoverer camps are
specifically outfitted to ensure that traditional camping feel with a clear
emphasis on necessary and stylish comfortable interiors, creating a peerless
wilderness experience.
Guides: The entire safari is guided and hosted by a professional trained
guide, who shares in-depth knowledge to present a seamless safari experience.
Exclusive experience: Musanza Tented Camp is private and for the use of
Exploration travellers only, while Lufupa Camp and Lunga River Lodge are open to
other Wilderness Safaris guests. All activities are private for the group on
this safari.
Routes: To maximise guests' journey time, a variety of travel modes that
bring out the best of each area is used: flying in charters and private overland
transfers which provide both a bird's-eye view and an in-depth visual experience
of the contrasting landscapes of Zambia. Due to guests combining Kafue with
various other destinations, our safari begins and ends at Lusaka Airport,
allowing the flexibility to tailor further pre- or post-safari arrangements.
Seasonality: To truly enjoy the experience in the Kafue, you will need
three nights in the Busanga Plains. Due to the diversity of habitat and
associated experiences, from riparian forest, broad-leafed and Miombo woodlands
(around the Lunga River Lodge) to the open grassy plains of Busanga and the
enormous Kafue river, each area allows for different impressions and highlights,
creating a continually changing and interesting safari.

Exclusive experience: As the area in which we operate is public, there is
a small chance outside this zone to encounter other guests. Busanga Bush Camp is
private and for the use of Exploration travellers only, while River Club and
Lunga River Lodge are open to other Wilderness Safaris guests.
Routes: To maximise guests' travel time, a variety of travel modes that
bring out the best of each area is used: flying in charters and private overland
transfers which provide both a bird's-eye view and an in-depth visual experience
of the contrasting landscapes of Zambia.
Seasonality: We believe that to truly enjoy an amazing journey in the
Kafue, you will need three nights in Busanga. Due to the immense diversity of
habitat and associated experiences, from riparian forest, broad-leafed and
Miombo woodlands (around the Lunga River Lodge) to the open plains of Busanga,
each camp and guide can take ample time to clearly showcase these highlights.
