KAFUE ACCOMMODATION

 

The camp sits on the banks of the Kafue River and consists of thatched chalets with en-suite ablutions. All chalets have a view of the river and the gentle rapids of the river can be heard throughout your stay - some have said it sounds like being on the ocean. But you dont get the sounds of hippo, lion and the whooping of hyena near the ocean!

ANIMALS TO LOOK OUT FOR

 

Some species found in the Kafue cannot be found anywhere else in Zambia. This is due to the different habitat and higher altitude. There are always the usual suspects to look out for such as lion, leopard, elephant and many antelope, but here is the only place to see cheetah, sitatunga, oribi, blue duiker and roan to name a few.

DETAILED ITINERERY

 

DAY ONE
Leave Lusaka early morning for the drive-in to Bongwe Camp in the Kafue National Park (+/- 4hrs). Lunch will then be served in camp after which you have some time to relax and familiarise yourself with the beautifully secluded surroundings. From this point onwards you wont see another vehicle or tourist for days except your own group, your guide and your game drive vehicle! In the mid afternoon you set off on a game drive into the most protected area in the region. Because of this protection the wildlife is extremely abundant and elephant, lion and leopard are not uncommon. This part of Zambia is where you experience the African wild as it should be. As the sun starts to set over the river, your guide will find a good vantage point to stop where you can sip sundowners and watch the diurnal world fall asleep and the nocturnal world awake. Once the sun has set you set off on a night drive where you may see porcupine, civet, leopard, bush baby, hippo and lion amongst other things. The drive then brings you back to camp in time for dinner. After dinner you can relax and chat around the fire or you can turn-in early ready for the early start the following day.

 

DAY TWO
You wake up at the crack of dawn and have some tea, coffee and a biscuit as you watch the sun rise. Once everyone is awake and ready to go you depart in the safari vehicle and head out for the full day game drive. Around 9.30 am when the stomach is rumbling you will stop somewhere with a great view of the river or the open plains and have a bush breakfast. After a relaxing breakfast you then continue slowly onward watching the wildlife go about its daily business. After a hearty picnic lunch you continue onward on an afternoon game drive following the meandering river where the wildlife tends to concentrate during the afternoon heat. You will then stop somewhere with a good vantage point of the sunset and sip a few sundowners as the day turns to night. Once the sun has set it is time to night drive your way back to camp where dinner will be served. After dinner is a good time to sit around the campfire and talk about what you have seen so far. Your guide will be more than happy to give more detail about the day's sightings.

 

DAY THREE
Depart the camp early in the morning and enjoy a game drive in the local area, perhaps looking for the animals you heard throughout the night and may still be in the neighbourhood. After a cooked breakfast back in camp your guide will then escort you, along with an armed scout, into the bush on foot. Here your guide will tell you about all the things you can’t see from a vehicle like spore, droppings, tracks and hiding places. Your guide will also get you as close as possible to the wildlife in a safe manner and without disturbing the animals. After a few hours of seeing the wildlife in the most natural way possible you will return to camp and have lunch. After lunch you can either do a spot of fishing or take a slow river cruise down the Kafue river and do some wildlife spotting from the water. After a little relaxing and boating it is time to head out on a late afternoon drive followed by sundowners and another night drive. Dinner is then served in camp around the usual time of 8.00pm.

 

DAY FOUR
The last chance to enjoy the surrounding wildlife on your last drive in the Kafue Park. The final day of your Kafue safari starts at the crack of dawn. After tea, coffee and biscuits you take your last safari drive of the Kafue trip with picnic breakfast. You are then driven back to camp for lunch. After lunch is where you can relax and/or do some fishing from the river bank and then prepare for the journey back to Lusaka (+/-4hrs).
