Liuwa Plains & Kafue Safari

The annual wildebeest migration in Liuwa Plains is the second largest in the world yet is devoid of the crowds that the great migration in east Africa attracts. Many guests prefer to combine Liuwa and the Kafue NP’s (as the Kafue is between Lusaka and Liuwa) and as such folk will often start with a stay at Musekese Camp and then head on to Liuwa – the plane which takes guests to Kalabo can stop-off in the Kafue and collect guests from Musekese on route (or drop them off after!).

The Liuwa Plains & Kafue Safari starts with your arrival in Lusaka where you will be collected by a driver and privately transported directly to Musekese Camp. Spend 4 nights here in Musekese exploring the game rich lagoon and surrounding woodland. The diversity of activities is one of the main draw cards of Musekese with the options of game drives and walking safaris as land based, with boating and fishing safaris along the Kafue river as the water based options. After those nights in Kafue you will catch a charter flight to Kalabo just south of Liuwa Plains. From here a game drive transfer will take you to your private mobile camp where you will spend the next 4 nights, the perfect base to explore the plains. Liuwa is one of the oldest protected wildlife areas in the whole of Africa it is home to the second largest wildebeest gathering and arguably the best hyena viewing in Africa. Birdlife is prolific in Liuwa, a staggering array and volume of birds can be found here, flying over and feeding in the dozens of seasonal pans of water, which at certain times of year are lined with the most beautiful wild flowers one can imagine. The perfect destination for photographers and birders looking for an ‘off the beaten path’ safari.
