The Experience
The massive Kafue National Park in western Zambia is home to abundant wildlife with the mighty Kafue River, running north to south through the park. The fertile Busanga Plains in the north are home to lions, zebras, abundant birdlife and the sycamore fig trees of the Busanga Swamps. In the more remote south, elephants and antelopes roam the Nanzhila Plains whilst hippos swim in the waters of Lake Itezhi-Tezhi.
