River Safari Company
Kafue 4 Day Itinerary
Day 1
We depart early from Livingstone and travel north towards Kafue National Park. Our lunch spot today will be enjoyed in Lusaka, the capital of Zambia. We then head on to Kafue National Park and enter the park using the Lusaka-Mongu road where we have our first opportunity of chancing game as we meander towards Mayukuyuku Camp. This evening, we will have our first opportunity to learn about African campfire cooking and assist with preparing traditional dishes. After a stunning sunset, the evening will be spent around the campfire swapping stories and enjoying the sounds of the Kafue nightfall.
Day 2
We awake for sunrise and some steaming hot drinks before we venture out for a 3 hour morning game drive. We will have ample opportunity to take in the wide variety of mammals, birds, amphibians and reptiles which this park is famous for. Cheetah, eland, sable, elephant, zebra, roan, warthog and lion are common sightings! Back at our camp, your guide will prepare a delicious lunch, and there will be some time to relax and enjoy before a casual afternoon boat cruise on the Kafue River. This three hour cruise will give us another opportunity to see the huge red African sunset across the wilds.
Day 3
After breakfast, we will each have a choice of either a morning fishing excursion, river safari or a participatory canoe safari. After a well deserved lunch, we will depart for a late afternoon game drive. As the night falls, we’ll each take turns with the spotlight to find the nocturnal game in the dark of the park. This is our best chance for gazing up on the shy leopard, the most elusive of the African Big Five.
Day 4
Our early morning will be spent leisurely driving to the gates of Kafue National Park for our last chance of game sightings before heading onwards to Lusaka. We will have a stopover at Choma Museum for our lunch break before departing for our final journey back to Livingstone.
