We did a entomolgical research trip with own car. Wonderful and very wild and lonley.
Take care you have a GPS with you when you are not guided, the roadsigns are sometimes difficult to find. When you dont like Tsetse flies, dont go in rainy season, but then you will miss insect life.

We saw one other vehicle during our 3 day stay in Kafue. Wildlife viewing requires a canny eye, but the bush experience makes it all worth the trip.

It feels very remote and doesn't have the vibe that you're in the middle of a tourist zone like in Tanzania.

I and my husband (we are a young couple at 30yrs of age) went to Kafue NP in July 2010. It was our first safari. People mostly go to much well-known national parks, especially for their first time. However we didn't choose those wellknown ones on purpose because they dont feel ''wild'' anymore, we believe. In Kafue, you really feel and experience the wild African bush life. Animals are not used to seeing cars so often, and everytime we were out on a ride we were the only jeep in the bushes. We never ran into any other group.
Kafue river is something itself! We took a little boat tour along the river and watched the sunset. Its unbelievable how a river full of alligators can look so fantastic and romantic:) We got a chance to eat hunt meat as well; fresh and nice! I never had that tasty meat in my entire life!
Because I was afraid of being in the wild with lions etc I wanted to stay in a lodge where I could feel ''comfortable''.
Read more so we chose Mukambi Lodge which was exceptionally beautiful. The lodge itself was home to a lot of wild animals. Elephants, hippos, lions were all around & in the lodge. We were so lucky with the choice of guide as well. All the guides in Mukambi are locals and have amazing sense of animals. They se & hear from kilometers away. They showed us the animals without disturbing their wild life or risking our lives.
I cannot recall anything negative about this trip. Everyone was helpful and nice, Kafue park was truly beautiful. It made me and my husband fall in love with mother Africa and we definitely would consider going back again.

We stayed 3 nights at the Mawimbi Bush cam and had the camp for ourselves and an extraorinary guide and staff.
This park is huge. We unfortunately missed the Busanga plains that were too far away but we just saw 2 other tourist cars in 2 days.
Our best wildlife highlights there: sable antelope, hartebeest, Leopard and bushpig
The diversisty of game species was great. Elephants were there but more skittish than in the Luangwa valley.

We really fell in love with Kafue which is still relatively unknown : time to enjoy it very soon.
