Lufupa Tented Camp

At the confluence of the Kafue River and the Lufupa Channel, Lufupa Tented Camp looks out over these rivers, alive with possibilities. Possibly the ultimate in riverine settings, this camp unlocks an area of remote bush and languid waterways in the Kafue National Park, one of the largest national parks in Africa.

Lufupa Tented Camp is situated in the northern sector of the acclaimed Kafue National Park, near the confluence of the Lufupa and Kafue rivers - an area filled with floodplains, broad-leaved woodland, lush riverine vegetation and dambos (open grassy clearings).

Wildlife is prolific with lion and a wide variety of plains game such as zebra, buffalo, greater kudu and impala, as well as the less-seen species of roan, sable antelope and Lichtenstein’s hartebeest. Lufupa is renowned for good leopard sightings and elephant are often seen moving through the area. Kafue’s birdlife is world-acclaimed, with the Lufupa area sporting well over 400 species - including Pel’s Fishing-Owl, African Finfoot and Half-collared Kingfisher.

Activities (at extra cost) include day and night nature drives exploring prime game viewing areas adjoining the Lufupa Channel. Boat trips also reveal the incredible hippo population of the area complemented by a constant array of colorful waterbirds, reptiles (Nile crocodile, water monitor, terrapins) and lush riverine vegetation. Guided nature walks are also on offer.

Your Destination

Location

Zambia is situated mainly on a vast plateau 1.8 miles above sea level, and boasts the Zambezi, Kafue and Luangwa rivers - as well as one of the largest waterfalls in the world, the Victoria Falls, which it shares with neighboring Zimbabwe. Most of the country has a mild, pleasant climate, while the river valleys are hotter and more humid; the extreme north becomes tropical on the shores of Lake Tanganyika, one of Zambia's ten large lakes. While Lusaka is the country's capital, Livingstone, just 6 miles from the Falls, is more well known to travelers as the 'adventure capital' offering adrenalin-packed activities on and around the Falls and the Zambezi River.
