Getting to this location (our 4th camp) took most of a day. We took ground transportation to an airport. Then a Bush plane. Then land transport, a boat transfer, another flight and then minibus and Safari vehicle to our camp in Kafue National Park.

Our camp was located on the banks of the Kafue River. Kafue is one of the continent's largest national parks at 8600 sq. miles (the size of New Jersey). It has a variety of terrains including riverine forests, floodplains and woodlands. But because of the severe drought of the past 3-4 years and the overpopulation of elephants that can consume up to 600 pounds of vegetation and 40 gallons of water a day, much of the landscape looks burnt and desolate .
