Location:
 |
At 22 500 square
kilometers, Kafue National Park is one of the largest National Parks
in Africa. It is fed by three rivers, the Lufupa in the north-west
and the Lunga and Kafue in the north-east. The Lufupa River floods
in the summer, creating a large floodplain delta system that
attracts thousands of waterbirds. The Lunga and Kafue rivers are
wide and slow-flowing, banded by riverine forest.
Habitats in the Park are diverse, and include floodplains, miombo
woodland and dambos. It has good concentrations of plains game and
their predators as well as the largest species diversity in Zambia,
including animals that are rare or non-existent in other southern
African countries, such as Lichtenstein's hartebeest, roan antelope,
Defassa waterbuck and oribi. Birdlife is spectacular, consisting of
491 species.
Kapinga Camp is situated in the extreme north of the Kafue National
Park, and the north-west corner of the Busanga Plains. Kafue is one
of the largest national parks in Africa, while the Busanga Plains is
one of Zambia's most significant wetland resources, and one of the
few areas in the world that remain unspoilt by human development. |
