Zambia safari ideas.
Explore two major arteries of the Kafue National Park: the Kafue and Lufupa
Rivers. Traversing the course of the Lufupa River from its confluence with the
Kafue, its mix of water from two different catchments clearly apparent, right up
to the Busanga Plains takes one through the diverse habitats of riverine forest,
miombo woodland, acacia- and palm-strewn floodplain, dambos and ultimately
the plains themselves. This mix of habitats harbours a huge diversity of species
from leopard and wild dog of the Lufupa woodlands to lion and cheetah of the
Busanga Plains, Defassa waterbuck and yellow baboons of the riverine to lechwe
and oribi of the grasslands. Game drives, nature walks and boating depict the
best of Kafue.

Set in the Luamfwa Concession in the southern sector of the South Luangwa
National Park, Kalamu Trails explores the Luangwa River and its diverse environs.
Traillists explore its untouched northern banks in a vast “wilderness area” where
there are no roads or vehicles. Nights on trail are spent in comfortable and unique
accommodation: at Kalamu Lagoon Camp on the first night, the unique Kalamu
Star-bed Camp on the second (a camp set on raised timber platforms with stars as
the roof ), and Chinengwe Riverbed Camp on the third. This Exploration, in a remote
and wild corner of the park, is an unforgettable journey into pure wilderness.
