Kafue National Park
Kafue National Park is one of the largest parks in the world
spanning a diverse 8,650 square miles (22,400 sq km). Kafu has yet
to fully develop as a tourist destination giving excursion in the
park an adventurous air. The forested southern portions of the park
are soaked in the Lunga and Kafue rivers which gives way to the dry
Busanga Plains in the north. Visitors are likely to see lions,
cheetahs, elephants, Zebras and a host of other wildlife in their
natural environment. Besides enjoying the wildlife through safaris,
visitors can enjoy abundant birdwatching and fishing. Kafue is a
200 mile drive west of Lusaka but some of the parks interior roads
are dilapidated, especially in the rainy season, making transport
across only accessible to 4x4s or chartered flights.
Information & Facts
Language
There are over 73 dialects spoken in Zambia, but the
official language is English. All business is in English and most
Zambians speak it fairly well.
Money
The Zambian currency is the Kwacha (ZMK), divided into 100
ngwee, but the coins are now worthless and seldom used. It is best
to bring travellers cheques, US Dollars or Pounds Sterling which
can be exchanged at the many bureaux de change found in the main
towns. While most of the tourist hotels, restaurants, travel agents
and larger shops, especially in Lusaka and Livingstone, accept
credit cards many outlets in the rural areas do not and deal only
in local currency. ATMs are available in Lusaka and some of the
major towns. Banking hours vary but are usually 8.30am to 2.30pm on
weekdays and mornings of the first and last Saturday of the
month.
Time
Local time in Zambia is GMT +2.
