Kafue National Park

Kafue National Park is the largest national park in Zambia and the second largest in Africa, covering approximately 22,400 square kilometers of pristine wilderness in central-southern Zambia. The park stretches across three provinces: North Western, Central, and Southern, encompassing a diverse landscape of miombo woodlands, seasonal floodplains, granite hills, and the meandering Kafue River. Established in the 1950s by British-Rhodesian conservationist Norman Carr, this protected area represents one of Africa's most significant wildlife conservation landscapes, home to an extraordinary diversity of species including 152 mammal species, 515 bird species, and substantial populations of elephants, lions, and African wild dogs. The park derives its name from the Kafue River, which flows through its heart and sustains the intricate ecosystems that make this region so ecologically valuable.
