Lufupa River Camp
Kafue National Park, Zambia - Adventure 3 
Lufupa River Camp features seven comfortable en-suite tents (two of which are family rooms) on the banks of the Kafue River offered on a bed-and-breakfast basis. The vibrant social hub is the whimsically named Kafue River Café with a bar and restaurant; à la carte meals and drinks are served during the day and early evening to guests of Lufupa River Camp and the nearby campsite.
The tranquil setting lies at the confluence of the Kafue River and the Lufupa Channel and overlooks these rivers. Possibly the ultimate in riverine settings, Lufupa River Camp unlocks an area of remote bush and languid waterways in the Kafue National Park, one of the largest national parks in Africa. The area is filled with floodplains, broad-leafed woodland, lush riverine vegetation and dambos (open grassy clearings). Exploring the sparkling, smooth-flowing waterways provides lively wildlife and exceptional birding encounters, from hippo to African Finfoot.
