== The Kafue River is 600 mi (970 km) long, rising along the Zimbia -Congo border in South Central Africa, near Lubumbashi, and meandering through central Zambia to the Zambezi River. The river provides water to Zambia's Cooperbelt. The lower Kafue valley is fertile (A plant at Kafue Gorge generates hydroelectricity). ==

Kafue National Park is the oldest and largest of Zambia's national parks covering a massive 22500 Km Sq.
== First established as National Park in the 1950s by the legendary Norman Carr, Kafue is one of the largest national parks in the whole of Africa. Despite its size and prominent location, only two hours’ drive from Livingstone, it remains little known but hardly ever unexplored. This river is located in a small vilaage called Kafue. Kafue is at the south-eastern foot of a range of granite hills rising 200 m and extending over an area of about 250 km², and occupies a shelf of land between the hills and the river, just high enough to avoid its annual flood. The town extends along some shallow valleys between the hills. A 400 m wide strip of small farms and gardens separates the town from a bend of the river which is about 300 m wide in the dry season and 1.3 km wide in the rainy season, sometimes inundating a floodplain 10 km wide on the opposite bank, which consequently is uninhabited save for a few small villages or farms on higher ground ==
