Kafue Tours & Trips

The 3-day tour from Lusaka to Kafue National Park was an unforgettable experience. It is a good trip to do if you are short on time at the beginning or end of a visit to Zambia, to give you a flavour of the bush and the sounds, smells and sights away from the cities. The group was small: tour leader, driver, cook and two individual travellers, that allowed for some flexibility, e.g with regards to the time to return. We had a tent each with really comfortable beds, on a campsite right by the river, and could see and hear the hippos nearby! The boat tour in the late afternoon especially was very memorable. Unfortunately, there were a few issues with the tour - we were downgraded from a camp to a campsite, so there was no bar and little opportunity to meet other travellers. The tour guide disappeared for nearly a full day without telling us in advance, and a few of the advertised options disappeared off the schedule. If I did this tour again, I would make sure to communicate and agree well in advance exactly which of the optional extras I would want to do (e.g. a hike, or a visit to a village). But with all those issues in mind, I still think this is a great tour to a less-overrun national park and have a lot of wonderful memories. Thank you Mark, Brian and Martha!

Lochinvar Safaris has been doing great work. I had excellent time with them for three full days. Not only that, but booking and discussion about plan was smooth. Mark is great communicator and organizer. His team is well committed to provide good experience for customers. We left Livingstone in the morning, and Oscar, who works with Mark was very knowledgeable about Zambia’s history and tradition. One of first highlights was visiting Pioneer cemetery, originally dedicated to Rhodesian Pioneers. Must visit for anyone who’s interested in this part of Zambia history. Drive to (and back from) Kafue NP is great, opportunity to visit local villages and how people live, plus view of great flora and fauna. Two nights stay at Itezhi tezhi town was well experience. Good accommodation, nice host and people who work there. Alice was making nice dishes with great presentation. The second day was drive in KNP, again great flora and fauna. Lots of opportunity to see various birds (like national bird Fish Eagle) and various animals (likely most often is Pumbaa, local name for warthog). The safari guide was KNP native Gift, very knowledgeable about his native land. We also visited Game Rangers International (located in KNP), dedicated to rescue mostly orphaned elephants. Finally it was nice visiting Longola Hot Springs, and have opportunity to see how local people enjoy it very much. Thanks for experience, Zarko

An Unforgettable Adventure with Lochinvar Safaris. I had the privilege of joining the "4 Days: Exciting Itezhi Tezhi Nocturnal Stargazing and Safari Experience" during the festival Christmas and New Year period of 2025. I must say it was an absolutely superb experience! Lochinvar Safaris organized and conducted the tour with outstanding professionalism and care. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience from start to finish. Our tour guide, Okelo, deserves special praise for his patience, knowledge, and warm demeanor. He went above and beyond to explain everything in great detail, making the safari both educational and incredibly enjoyable. His passion for stars, wildlife and dedication to creating memorable moments for us was truly commendable. I also thoroughly enjoyed the camaraderie with other travelers, which added to the joy of the journey. The breathtaking landscapes, the incredible wildlife, good stargazing experience and the expert guidance made this safari unforgettable. If you're considering adventure travel in Zambia, I highly recommend Lochinvar Safaris.
