Budget
Inside the park
Owner/family-run
The camp that makes Kafue work at every budget, and one of very few that publishes its full rate card. Campsite pitches have private fireplaces on the riverbank, and the chalets stand comparison with lodges at twice the price. Know that there is zero phone signal: tell people at home before you disappear.

What the park charges on top
The rate above buys you a bed. Kafue National Park charges its own entry fee for every day you are inside. Here is what that adds up to.
- Park entryThere is no self-drive surcharge here.
- $20per person, per day
- VehicleForeign-registered vehicle under 3 tonnes.
- $15per vehicle, per day
Three nights means three days inside, so two adults sharing one vehicle pay $165 in park fees before anyone pays for a bed.

Every figure on this page is in US dollars.
Indicative 2026 rates from operators' own rate cards and published tariffs, gathered July 2026. Many Kafue camps quote on enquiry only. Watch two things when comparing: whether park fees are included (Mayukuyuku and Konkamoya include them, most others do not), and conservation levies of $30 to $40 a night at some camps. A caution on older guides: Lufupa River Camp, Lufupa Tented Camp, Leopard Lodge and Puku Pan all appear closed or dormant, Mukambi Plains Camp is simply the old name of Busanga Plains Camp, and the Jeffery & McKeith brand merged into Classic Zambia Safaris. We list none of them as live options.
Questions about Kasabushi Camp
Is Kasabushi Camp good for families?
Yes. The camp's own page prices children aged 6 to 12 at 50 percent of the adult rate and under-sixes at a flat $50 a night, and its 60-square-metre honeymoon suite can be configured with two extra beds as a family unit. We found no published minimum age, which still makes this one of the more family-transparent camps in Kafue.
What does it cost for children at Kasabushi Camp?
Kasabushi's own accommodation page sets children aged 6 to 12 at 50 percent of the adult rate, the same tier as guides and staff, and children under six at a flat $50 per night regardless of room type. Confirm which figure applies to camping or glamping rates separately, since this detail covers the chalets.
Is Kasabushi Camp good for a honeymoon?
Yes. The honeymoon suite is the camp's largest room, 60 square metres on the riverbank, with its own indoor and outdoor bathroom and a private veranda facing the Kafue River. The same suite can later be configured with two extra beds, so it also works for an early family trip.
Can you self-drive to Kasabushi Camp?
Our record lists access by road from Chunga, with no dedicated airstrip of its own, pointing to a self-drive-friendly camp rather than a fly-in one. The camp's own page does not spell out road conditions, so confirm the current route with Kasabushi before you travel.
Does Kasabushi Camp have phone signal or Wi-Fi?
There is zero phone signal at Kasabushi, so tell people at home before you disappear for your stay. The camp's own page does not state whether Wi-Fi is available, so if staying connected matters, ask directly before you book rather than assuming either way.
