kafue PREDATOR SEASON
October – December at Nanzhila Lake Camp in the Kafue National Park
Come experience the thrills of Predator Season at Lake Camp in the Kafue National Park, Zambia
We’ve got an amazing secret to share with you about Southern Kafue. Each year between October and December hundreds of antelope species gather daily to revel in an incredible feeding bonanza. When the Musa River and Lake Itezhi-tezhi’s headwaters recede in the western sectors, they leave behind highly fertile and nutrient-rich shorelands. Add some sunny days and the first rains, and voila! You get the highest quality new grass growth that the antelope just can’t resist. It’s like a foodie paradise for them!
The best part? It happens every season and Lake Camp is right at the center of it all!
Apex predators unleashed in the Southern Kaufe!
But the excitement doesn’t stop there. When the antelope gather, the apex predators of Southern Kafue come out to play: Lion, leopard, cheetah, and wild dog. While we spot these incredible creatures throughout the year, they truly take center stage from October to December. You won’t believe your eyes when you witness their raw power and hunting prowess.
