Kafue's Rivers & Plains
10 Days
Highlights
- A unique safari to the remote Kafue wilderness
- Cheetah and tree-climbing lions on the Busanga Plains
- Little chance of seeing any other safari-goers
This safari uses a four-wheel-drive vehicle with top guides to explore a real wildlife haven. Kafue?s major arteries - the Kafue and Lufupa Rivers - present diverse habitats of riverine forest, miombo woodland, acacia and palm-strewn floodplain, dambos and, ultimately, the Busanga plains. These harbour a huge diversity of species: from leopard and wild dog in the woodland to lion and cheetah on the plain, Defassa waterbuck and yellow baboon in the riverine forest to lechwe and oribi on the grasslands. Game drives and nature walks depict the best of Kafue in an adventure reminiscent of the times of the great African explorers.
