Musekese Lodge – Kafue National Park
Arriving in Lusaka you will be met and transferred to Musekese Lodge in the Northern part of Kafue National Park. This part of the reserve is fed by the mighty river that gave the park its name. Wildlife abounds with wide open plains supporting Cheetah and Lion while the thicker forests hide elusive Leopards.
Morning and evening game drives but the highlight is the walking safaris in this area. Incredible savanna plains littered with antelope and Elephants. thicker riverine areas reveal Bushbuck, Kudu and Impala herds, ideal prey for Leopard.

Arriving in South Luangwa is a dream come true of mystical bush and vivid wildlife. Your chalet on the banks of the Luangwa River is a panorama of Giraffe, Elephant and Zebra, baby Puku around each corner. Morning and afternoon game drives, walking safaris and night drives but the walking is by far the best all of Africa has to offer.
While at the lodge you can relax in the privacy of your chalet or on your viewing deck. Alternatively, cool off in the infinity pool while keeping an eye on the game drinking at the waterhole. The lodge also features the only natural hot spring tub in Mfuwe, a wellness spa and a gym.
After Kafunta you will have the choice of heading to either of the bush camps. At these rustic camps, you will spend a few days immersed in the beauty of the African wilderness. Three Rivers Camp is located between the Luangwa River and a pristine lagoon teeming with wildlife.
