Lufupa Tented Camp
- Kafue National Park

The camp itself is constructed of timber and canvas with large gauze windows allowing for maximum airflow for those hot summer months.

Private timber decks on the front of each tent offers superb views of the Kafue river and makes for a great place to relax during the heat of the day.

The camp is situated down stream from the Lufupa River Camp and has its own facilities for dining. A small plunge pool also brings great relief on those hot days.
 

The emphasis when designing was to keep it simple and ‘green’ so each tent is equipped with it’s own solar hot water system and panel to charge a battery for lighting. Charging facilities for cameras are available in the main area.

Lufupa River Camp is located just south of the Busanga Plains on the confluence of the Lufupa and Kafue Rivers and is home to ubiquitous puku, stately roan and Lichtenstein’s hartebeest.

Herds of wildebeest, zebra and buffalo make for a full set of antelope. This wealth of game is also a big attraction for predators, including wild dog, cheetah, leopard and prides of lion. The thick riverine vegetation along the Kafue and Lufupa Rivers, broad-leaved woodland and large grassy ‘dambos’ bring incredible diversity to one’s experience of the Kafue National park.

The camp itself is simple attractive ‘meru’ style tents with large gauze windows and a small private deck overlooking the Kafue River.

Lufupa River Camp caters for 18 guests with some of the tented units being family tents, sleeping 4 people.

Dining is done in the ‘River Café’ which is set up high on stilts overlooking the confluence of the Kafue and Lufupa river, pods of hippos, crocodiles and spans and water birds keep guests constantly gazing out at this magnificent slow flowing Kafue river.

A new pizza oven and state of the art coffee machine adds some extra flare to the dining experience out in the ‘middle of no where’. 

Activities include game drives, boat cruises, fishing, walks and night drives on open 4x4 vehicles, led by qualified guides who are extremely knowledgeable about the area and its wildlife. For those interested in birding, the park boasts 491 species, including endemics such as Chaplin’s Barbet.
