Kafue Town
Kafue town sits where the Great North Road crosses the Kafue River, about forty-five kilometres south of Lusaka and right at the head of the Kafue Flats. It is a working town built around the bridge, the railway and the gorge hydro scheme rather than around tourism, and that shapes what you find here: practical lodges and guest houses used by people passing through, working in the area, or deliberately avoiding a night in the capital.
The case for staying here is mostly geography. You are close enough to Lusaka for an early airport run but out of its traffic, you are on the road south towards Monze, Choma and Livingstone, and you are at the eastern edge of one of Zambia’s great wetland systems. The Kafue Gorge and the river frontage are genuinely worth an hour, and the Flats themselves begin a short drive west.
