Kafue National Park is one of the largest game reserves in the world and is considered to be one of Africa's best reserves for antelope viewing.
The park covers an amazing diversity of animals, birds and vegetation. This is Big Five country and apart from zebra, blue wildebeest, buffalo, serval, cheetah, lions, leopards and elephants it boasts the greatest diversity of antelope in Africa including important populations of Defassa waterbuck and Red lechwe.

The Busanga Plains are a real highlight of going on safari in Kafue. Picture wide open floodplains stretching out to meet the African sky, with huge herds of red lechwe, puku and roan antelope, as well as the rare sitatunga antelope and plenty of big cats.

Birdwatching is also excellent - Kafue is home to over 400 different species. Angling enthusiasts will also be delighted by the superb fishing possible at most lodges.
Conservation success: Due to efforts by park authorities, the Red Lechwe, which was virtually extinct 50 years ago - has been flourishing in the park, with large herds now roaming throughout.
