This picture wraps up our experience of Kafue National Park. This leopard was hunting so it was extra special to see him in action. He did not seem to be fazed by us all clicking away. Before we saw him we also saw a lone lioness.
We stayed at Lafupa Lodge at a campsite right on the Kafue River. Although it was our first introduction to the Tsetse fly (National bird of Zambia) it was so amazing. We spent 3 nights at the lodge and could have spent another week. On our first night we heard lions across the river. It was amazing to hear. We could drive around the park in our own vehicle so we spent the days driving around the park and went on a night drive with the scouts. On our last day we drove up to the Basinga Plains where we saw 2 cheetah brothers shading themselves under a tree. We also saw plenty buck, zebra, wildebeest, warthogs and a pride of lions. 2 lionesses sitting above a river bank and about 7 adolescent lions lying in the riverbed.
All in all our time in Kafue was just awesome and were sad to leave. Defiantly somewhere we would like to go again.
