| The park covers an amazing diversity of animals,
birds and vegetation. This is Big Five country and apart from zebra,
blue wildebeest, buffalo, serval, cheetah, lions, leopards and elephants
it boasts the greatest diversity of antelope in Africa including important
populations of Defassa waterbuck and Red lechwe.
Birdwatching is also excellent - Kafue is home to over 400 different
species. Angling enthusiasts will also be delighted by the superb
fishing possible at most lodges.
Conservation success: Due to efforts by park authorities, the
Red Lechwe, which was virtually extinct 50 years ago - has been flourishing
in the park, with large herds now roaming throughout.
