Three nights in one of Africa's largest and least visited parks, with lion, leopard and rare antelope.
The Kafue is huge and wonderfully empty. From a solar-powered lodge on the river, explore by boat, on foot and by vehicle, often without seeing another guest.
It is a place for travellers who want wildness above all, and a camp that puts its community at the centre.
