Kafwala Lodge overlooks the Kafwala Rapids where the sound of water is constant throughout the year. Sit a while on these banks, watching and listening. The river life will unfold before you. It is a good game-viewing area as all the larger antelope such as sable, roan, kudu, eland and hartebeest share this habitat with lions, and solitary leopards. At Lusaka airport you will be met by a representative of Busanga Trails who will settle you into your vehicle for the five hour drive to Lufupa, the last two and a half hours of which are in the park itself.
Water is safe to drink.
As a result of seasonal rains Kafue safaris are not available at all from December to April. If you are set on a visit to the Busanga Plains and Shumba camp, then you should avoid May June and early July as the rains can deny access to the area. The other lodges are accessible from May to November. Being 4,000 feet above sea level, the Kafue region can be cooler than most people expect. What to bring Camera with telephoto lens and flash.
