The park is about 100 kilometers southeast of Lusaka, Zambia’s capital, and can be accessed via a short flight to Jeki Airstrip or Royal Airstrip from Lusaka or Livingstone. Alternatively, a road trip from Lusaka takes approximately 4-5 hours, though a 4x4 vehicle is essential for the last stretch. Many lodges provide transfers from nearby towns or airstrips.

Wissenswertes vor der Abreise

The dry season (June to October) offers the best wildlife viewing, as animals congregate around the river. The wet season (November to April) transforms the park into a lush green paradise and is ideal for birdwatching, though some lodges close during this period due to flooding.
