If you are a nature and a wildlife enthusiast, you’ll find the Kafue National Park a very interesting place to visit where you can get close to a rich variety and diversity of wild-life with its rivers filled with hippos and massive crocodiles. Elephants can also be easily spotted near the river banks in large numbers as they have returned to these areas after years of poaching which resulted in reducing them significantly. You’ll also find many different bird species ranging from small to large and many hoofed-animals, leopards, lions monkeys and buffalos.
Many of the great boat trips can also be enjoyed along the Kafue and Lafupa rivers which are manned by the local skippers. Afternoon game drives can also be arranged in the early morning and late afternoon by your lodge enabling you to explore the wild-life in the park. Knowledgeable and experienced divers/spotters will take you these drives so that you can get the most out of your visit. The best time to visit the park starts from October as during the rainy-season many of the areas in north are flooded with water and are almost impassable. Moreover the lodges are open only during these specific times as during other times most of the roads are underwater.
You have multiple options to get to the Kafue National Park i.e. via air or by road. If you are to arrive via air, you can settle down at a good lodge where the staff will boat, walk or drive you around the park. If you have chosen to reach there by road, you can either drive by yourself around the park or hire a professional agency to do the job for you although you have to pay nominal fees for that that actually doesn’t need to be accounted for considering the adventure and fun ahead.
You can also expect to live in a comfortable lodge as there are many of them in the park with some of them being expensive and at higher-end and some offering exclusive-trips that include the tour around the park as well as food. You can also opt for camping in the park at very affordable rates. While you can opt to rent a higher end lodge, you also have the option to go for a basic one but with good food. In case you have decided to camp in the park, you have to bring your own food or otherwise you can arrange the meals from one of the lodges situated within the area of the park.
