Discover the untamed and pristine beauty of Zambia's Kafue National Park. With its remote and unspoiled landscapes, this park provides an exclusive and authentic wilderness experience, far from crowded tourist spots. As a protected area, Kafue is teeming with wildlife, including the iconic Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino), cheetahs, hippos, wild dogs, and over 500 bird species, making it a paradise for birdwatchers.
Engage with nature through a variety of game viewing options, such as day and night drives, walking safaris, and boat cruises on the breathtaking Kafue River, where you can enjoy excellent boating and fishing opportunities. Photography enthusiasts will delight in capturing the park's stunning landscapes and diverse wildlife, from majestic predators to vibrant birds.
Kafue National Park offers a unique blend of wildlife, birdwatching, diverse ecosystems, and genuine safari experiences. A visit to Kafue promises an unforgettable journey, leaving lasting impressions of Africa's heartland.
The ideal time to visit Kafue National Park depends on the type of experience you wish to have. The dry season (May to October) is perfect for those who prefer cooler temperatures and prime game viewing conditions.
The wet season (November to April) brings lush landscapes and fewer tourists, making it an excellent time for birdwatching. This period also coincides with the calving season, offering chances to see young animals during game drives.
The shoulder seasons (April-May and September-October) provide a balanced experience with a mix of wet and dry season advantages. During these months, mild weather and some remaining lush greenery enhance game viewing experiences.
The park offers a range of accommodation options, from luxurious lodges to comfortable tented camps. These accommodations combine comfort with sustainability, incorporating eco-friendly practices to preserve the park's natural beauty.
The lodge offers a genuine and intimate luxury safari experience in the heart of South-Central Africa. Nestled under sycamore fig trees on an island at the core of the plains, this exclusive camp with just four tents serves as the perfect outpost for observing an extraordinary wildlife spectacle.
Shumba Camp stands as one of the most exclusive seasonal safari destinations in Africa. The limited accessibility ensures that guests experience front-row seats to some of the most dramatic and thrilling wildlife encounters on the continent, making each visit truly unique and memorable.

Outstanding Experience! (Cape Town, Sabi Sands, Vic Falls)
After attempting to book this trip myself (a couple coming from the US), I gave up and reached out to Sara from Safari.com. I told Sara what I was thinking and by the next day she had created several wonderful itineraries! Based on her suggestions, we personalized the itineraries and within 7 days I was booked and all set!! Sara was available at all times (before, during, and after the trip). We are currently heading home and we are so happy with all the bookings Sara created for us! Everything went flawlessly. Her 3rd parties for tours and transfers were perfect (always early, professional, knowledgeable, and kind). The hotel acknowledged our anniversary thanks to Sara. We stayed at the Victoria & Alfred hotel in Cape Town, then off to Dulini Moya in Sabi Sands, and finally Victoria Falls Island Treehouse in Zimbabwe. I highly recommend all of them. Tell Sara what you envision your experience to be and your budget and she will make it happen!! Her knowledge was so helpful in assisting us to choose the perfect itinerary. It was comforting that she kept in touch while we were traveling throughout Africa. I feel so lucky to have had Sara arrange this trip and will certainly request her expertise again in the future!! You won’t have to worry about anything because she is on top of it all. Do not hesitate!! Book with Sara from Safari.com!
