After enjoying breakfast, transfer to Livingstone Airport for your light aircraft flight to Kafue National Park, Zambia’s largest and oldest national park. Established in the 1950s by Norman Carr, this vast 22,500-square-kilometre wilderness remains largely unexplored and offers spectacular species diversity, including the Big Five, fantastic leopard sightings, and over 22 antelope species such as red lechwe, puku, sitatunga, sable, and yellow-backed duikers.

Staying at Ila Safari Lodge, an eco-focused sanctuary utilizing solar-powered electric vehicles and boats, you will embark on morning and afternoon game drives alongside tranquil river cruises on the Kafue River, where you can watch diving birds, basking crocodiles, and elephants splashing in the shallows. In between motorized safari activities, expert-guided walking safaris allow you to slow down to nature’s pace and appreciate the intimate details of Kafue’s rich, biodiverse landscapes
