Lufupa River Camp looks out over the Kafue River where it meets the Lufupa Channel - a spectacular setting in the Kafue National Park. Exploring these sparkling, smooth-flowing waterways provides lively wildlife and birding encounters, from hippo to African Finfoot.
The well-known Lufupa area of Zambia's Kafue National Park is recognised as a focal point for prolific animal and bird life. Situated at the confluence of the Lufupa and Kafue Rivers, this site offers access to productive game viewing areas in the dambos (open grassy clearings) and woodlands of the northern Kafue. Puku, impala, and Defassa waterbuck are common while more unusual species include Lichtenstein's hartebeest. The area is renowned for its leopard viewing and elephant and lion sightings are regular.
The newly-built Lufupa River Camp features nine comfortable en-suite tents (two of which are family rooms) on the banks of the Kafue River offered on a bed-and-breakfast basis. The vibrant social hub is the whimsically named Kafue River Café with a bar and restaurant; a la carte meals and drinks are served during the day and early evening to guests of Lufupa River Camp and the nearby campsite.
Activities (at extra cost) include day and night nature drives exploring prime game viewing areas adjoining the Kafue River and Lufupa Channel. Boat trips reveal the incredible hippo population of the area complemented by a constant array of colourful waterbirds, reptiles and other life amongst the riverine vegetation. Guided nature walks and fishing excursions are also on offer.
At 22 500 square kilometres, Kafue National Park is one of the largest parks in Africa. The Kafue National Park is also part of a transfrontier park initiative - the Kavango-Zambezi Transfontier Conservation area, or Kaza Park. The aim is to establish a world-class conservation area linking a vast network of national parks, game management areas and conservancies over five African countries and eventually covering 280 000 square kilometres!
