Zambia Safari Company
Kafue National Park 4 day 3 night Safari
The park sustains huge herds of a great diversity of wildlife. From the thousands of red lechwe on the Plains, the ubiquitous puku, the stately sable and roan antelopes in the woodland to the diminutive oribi and duiker, waterbuck, herds of tsessebe, hartebeest, zebra and buffalo make for a full menu of antelope. Large prides of lion, solitary leopards and cheetahs are the prime predators. There is a host of smaller carnivores from the side-striped jackal, civet, genet and various mongoose. Over 400 species of birds have been recorded throughout the park
Day 1
Travel to Kafue National Park this is roughly a 3 hours drive from the lodge. Upon arrival, we have lunch and
a take the chance to relax before setting off on for an afternoon’s game drive; here we have a good chance of
seeing the majority of Africa's big game including the popular predators. Returning to the lodge about 19:30
for a three-course meal served in the main restaurant overlooking the Kafue River and the banks of the National Park
with the chance of seeing Elephants as they come for their evenings drink.
Day 2
Today we are in the park twice; rising early we set off about 06:00 for a morning’s game viewing. This is also
a great chance to enjoy one of Zambia's famous walking safaris, where you learn about the tracks, smaller animals
and also uses of trees etc; whilst it isn’t intended to see the big game, this does happen and adds to the
adventure. Returning back to the lodge for dinner and a rest during the heat of the day, before we set off on an
afternoons Game Drive. After drinks to watch the sunset, we have a short night drive on the way back to the Lodge.
Returning back to the camp after sunset for dinner and a welcome night’s sleep.
Day 3
Another early start for a morning Drive, we then return to the camp and relax until early afternoon; lounge
around the pool; compare stories at the bar or just sleeping in the tents. The afternoon and early evening is
spent on a river cruise for sunset. This is the opportunity to see the animals as they drink in the cool of the
afternoon, we should be fortunate enough to see Elephant, Buffalo and the antelopes, also of course plenty of
Hippos and some Crocodiles. After sundowners and a final view of Africa's spectacular sunsets we return to
enjoy our final nights' meal.
