Zambia Map
Kafue National Park is located 360km/223mi from the capital, Lusaka. The drive, on a good tar road, takes about 4 hours*.
There are many safari packages to Kafue and self-drive to the park is relatively easy too. However, to venture any distance into the park itself, a good 4x4 is essential.
Most people staying at the high-end lodges fly by chartered plane to Kafue. There are several airstrips in the park.
Zambia’s main airport, Kenneth Kaunda International Airport (LUN), is 14km/9mi from Lusaka – this is where you will most likely enter the country. Harry Mwanga Nkumbula International Airport (LVI) in Livingstone is also handy for the park.
The domestic carriers Proflight and Zambia Airways offer flights to several parks, but currently not to Kafue.
Charter flights between parks are usually part of your safari package and are booked by your tour operator.
*Driving times are only a rough indication. You should always consider the possibility of significant delays.
