Other safari activities on offer in the southern Kafue area

Seasonal Boating: The presence of Lake Itezhi-Tezhi allows for activities impossible in most other Zambian parks.

Walking Safaris: Led by trained scouts, walking safaris allow you to trade the engine's hum for the crunch of the bush underfoot. It’s the best way to learn the "language" of the wild through tracks, dung, and botany.

Night Game Drives: As the sun sets, a new world awakens. Using filtered spotlights, our guides help you spot nocturnal specialists like Servals, Honey Badgers, and the tiny Bushbaby.

Catch-and-Release Fishing (Seasonal): The lake and river systems are home to various species, including the famous Kafue Bream, offering a relaxing way to spend a golden afternoon.
