Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Kasungu National Park?
The best area to stay in Kasungu National Park is within the park's central region, particularly near the Lifupa Dam.

This area is the primary accommodation hub within the park and offers the most convenient access to wildlife viewing. Lifupa Dam is a significant watering hole, attracting a variety of animals, especially during the dry season. The main lodge, along with a few smaller camps, are situated around this central point, providing a comfortable base for your safari adventures.

Couples looking for a romantic and secluded getaway will find the lodges near Lifupa Dam ideal. These accommodations often feature private verandahs overlooking the dam, offering opportunities to observe wildlife directly from your room. Guided walking safaris and game drives are easily arranged from this central location, making it simple to explore the park's diverse ecosystems together.

For travellers interested in birdwatching, staying near Lifupa Dam is also an excellent choice. The dam and its surrounding woodland attract a wide array of bird species, and walking trails in the immediate vicinity provide good opportunities for spotting them.
When is the best time to go to Kasungu National Park?
The best time to go to Kasungu National Park is during the dry season, which runs from May to October.

During these months, the vegetation is sparse, making it much easier to spot wildlife as animals gather around the remaining water sources. The weather is generally pleasant with cooler temperatures and less humidity, which is ideal for game drives and walking safaris. May and June are particularly good as the landscape is still relatively green from the rains but conditions for wildlife viewing are improving.

For those looking for the clearest views of animals, September and October offer the best opportunities. While it can be hotter and dustier, the shrinking waterholes mean animals are concentrated and easier to find, making for excellent photographic opportunities. This period is superb for travellers prioritising extensive wildlife sightings.

If you prefer a greener landscape and don't mind the occasional rain shower, the shoulder months of April and November can also be considered.
