Kafue National Park, located in Zambia, is one of the largest national parks in Africa, covering an area of approximately 22,400 square kilometers. Established in 1950, it is renowned for its diverse ecosystems, which include vast savannas, lush woodlands, and the Kafue River, after which the park is named. This rich variety of habitats supports a remarkable array of wildlife, including elephants, lions, leopards, cheetahs, and a plethora of antelope species, such as the rare sitatunga and red lechwe. Birdwatchers also find it a paradise, with over 500 bird species recorded.
