Spirit of the Kafue

This safari explores the game rich central area of Kafue National Park and two remote areas in the north of the park staying in small owner managed camps.

Your exciting odyssey starts at a luxury camp on the banks of the Kafue River, time to relax and unwind whilst enjoying the excellent range of activities both in 4×4 safari vehicles and on the river before heading to more remote parts.

The second part of your safari visits an area of the park only recently opened up to the public in an area known amongst the rangers in Kafue as “Eden” because of its untouched wilderness and perfect environment for wild creatures to flourish. Your tiny four room camp is set on a lagoon nestled in a large stand of massive riverine trees overlooking an immense dambo, guests can sit and watch the diverse and large congregations of wildlife from the comfort of their chalet or whilst having a drink on the deck, from herds of elephant frolicking to the hundreds of puku keeping an eye out for one of the resident lion prides in the area. You will be very unlikely to see other vehicles on your game drives.

The final part of your Kafue trip takes you to the fabled Busanga Plains, only accesible from July to October  this wetland paradise is home to fantastic wildlife and is a great birding location. Your stay here is in a tiny three room,  tented camp which is comfortable but quite rustic on the southern edge of the plains.

A feature of this safari is the superb personal guiding by the camp owners and the variety of wildlife that me be seen which includes all the big cats, excellent wild dog sightings and some of the rarer large antelope including sable, roan, sitatunga and eland.
