In the far north of the park, the Lufupa River flows into the Busanga Swamps. During the rains, this floods out over the adjacent plains. The Busanga Plains are the jewel of Kafue National Park—a vast mosaic of grassy seasonal floodplains stretching to the horizon. These 720-square-kilometre floodplains are dotted with palm groves, papyrus-choked reed beds, lily-covered lagoons, broad-leaved woodlands, open waterways and riverine vegetation. The plains drain after the rainy season and attract large numbers of game and fantastic birdlife…undoubtedly the best place for wildlife viewing in Kafue.
