Coordinates : -14.960706, 25.784033 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : Leopard, lion, elephant, zebra, giraffe, buffalo, wildebeest, crocodile, vervet monkey, baboon, puku, roan antelope, impala, hippo and many other animals, both mammals and reptiles. True paradise for birds, many species of the most diverse (many raptors, cormorants, etc..). The park has different habitat from forest to savannah and is also crossed by great Kafue River with its habitat. And 'possible to admire the Fish Eagles while fishing on a river full of fish. The animals are more wary of humans because the park is still visited by few tourists, but still allow a good approach.

Recommended equipment : Tele at least 300/400mm, welcome to the multipliers, but not necessary. In my opinion the ideal kit for this site would be 300 f/2.8 and a very fast multiplier or 100-400L which gives great satisfaction especially with birds, a handyman quality as the 24-105L to do a bit 'of everything. I do not need a tripod, do not weigh down your luggage. During the safari photographing mainly from off-road vehicle that best aperture lenses or stabilized. Personally I have never used the wide angle.

Best months : Throughout the year. Recommended that our summer is wintertime in Zambia. The animals are more concentrated along the rivers and waterholes and there are no mosquitoes around. Cool at night, but bearable quietly in a tent with no sleeping bag estremo.Importantissimo: only during our summer period the Busanga Plains are flooded and therefore not viable in their entirety with the 4x4 in search of the rarest antelope and herds of buffalo and wildebeest migration so reminiscent of the Serengeti.

How to get there : You can get there by plane directly Zambia in Lusaka on or Livingtone (Victoria Falls) via Johannesburgh. Many tour operators in Livingstone is both on the internet. It is not difficult to rent a jeep or rely on an organized trip. For those wishing to rely on a tour operator I highly recommend Travel Adventures in the World, one of the few tour operators to have different routes and proposals that reach this wonderful park (www.viaggiavventurenelmondo.it)

Visits : The entrance fee (about $ 20 pax), opening times vary, and it would be better to consult them on the site of the park www.zambiatourism.com / destinations / national-parks / kafue-national-parkAll 'entrance to the park will make the ticket. There is no need to book first if you decide to camp, usually no place.

Notes : Personally, I slept at the campsite of Lufupa Camp in northern Kafue. The camp is not fenced, animals overnight run undisturbed for the field. Toilets and showers comfortable and spacious. There is also a private airport for wealthy tourists who sleep in the bungalow. In all my African safari, the most beautiful lion I photographed 100 meters off the field.
