Le parc national de Kafue est le plus grand parc de Zambie et l'un des plus grands d'Afrique, s'étendant sur 22 400 km² de forêts de miombo, de plaines inondables et de forêts riveraines. Les plaines de Busanga, situées au nord, sont exceptionnelles pour la présence de lions, de guépards, de lechwe roux et de puku. Les lycaons sont régulièrement observés. Malgré sa taille et sa richesse en faune, Kafue reste l'un des principaux parcs d'Afrique les moins visités, offrant une exclusivité exceptionnelle.
