Inside the park
Owner/family-run
The camp serious safari-goers name first in Kafue. It grew out of what was Jeffery & McKeith Safaris, now merged into Classic Zambia, and the attached conservation NGO runs anti-poaching across this sector. Walking is the point here, backed by hides and boat time on the river.
Why you'd pick it
- Walking safaris are the house speciality
- Purpose-built wildlife hides and a nine-seat river boat with floating lunches
- Visits to the anti-poaching base your levy funds
What's here
- En-suite bathrooms
- Solar or 24h power
Arranged from the lodge:
- Game drives
- Boat trips
- Guided walks
- Birding

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.
The full fee schedule for Kafue National ParkRates
Rates on request. A $40-per-night conservation levy funding Musekese Conservation is included in the rate.
What the rate covers is not confirmed. We do not know yet whether meals, drinks and activities are included, so read this as the bed only.
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.
