Author's Description:

Lufupa Camp is an exciting new property south of Busanga Plains.The Kafue River winds through the Kafue National park entering in the north-eastern corner and is joined by the Lufupa and the Lunga rivers which are the three main veins that bring life into the Kafue National Park. In the extreme north of the Kafue lie the Busanga Plains – Lufupa Camp is located just south of the Busanga Plains and is home to hundreds of red lechwe, ubiquitous puku, stately roan and the diminutive oribi. Lichtenstein’s hartebeest, herds of wildebeest, zebra and buffalo make for a full set of antelope. This wealth of game is also a big attraction for predators, including wild dog, cheetah and prides of lion. The thick riverine vegetation along the Kafue and Lufupa rivers brings fantastic diversity to one’s experience of the Kafue National park.

On the confluence of the Lufupa and Kafue rivers is the location of Lufupa Camp. This is as ‘wild’ as you can get in today’s world: an unfenced mosaic of expansive grassy seasonal floodplains, “dambos” (open grassy areas that sometimes will fill up with rainwater) and diverse riverine vegetation.

It caters for 12 guests in six well-appointed canvas Meru tents, and is perfectly situated, overlooking the Kafue River. Activities include game drives, boat cruises, fishing, walks and night drives, led by qualified guides who are extremely knowledgeable about the area and its wildlife. For those interested in birding, the park boasts 491 species, including endemics such as Chaplin’s Barbet.
