KAFUE NATIONAL PARK

Close-up of an elephant herd walking across the plains, Kafue National Park, Zambia

Zambia’s Kafue National Park is vast and varied, from miombo woodland to the wide-open Busanga Plains. As the dry season draws wildlife to the floodplains, lions, lechwe, roan and sable gather in golden light. It is crowd-free safari country with soaring horizons and signature hot-air balloon mornings.

Plains, Predators & Balloon Skies

Wake to mist lifting off Busanga as puku and lechwe stream across the plains. From Busanga Bush Camp, follow lion tracks through open grasslands; at Shumba, rise by hot-air balloon at dawn and spend unhurried afternoons with roan, sable, and when luck strikes, cheetah on the hunt.
