Kafue Flats, Protected wetland area in central Zambia.
The Kafue Flats extend 240 kilometers along the Kafue River, featuring shallow waters, open lagoons, and seasonal flooding patterns throughout the year.
The Batwa people were among the first inhabitants of the Kafue Flats, establishing fishing communities along the river before other groups arrived.
The Ila and Tonga communities maintain traditional farming and fishing practices, moving seasonally according to water conditions in the flats.
Access to Kafue Flats includes two national parks, Lochinvar and Blue Lagoon, with designated areas for wildlife observation and photography.
The endemic Kafue Lechwe antelope lives specifically in these wetlands, adapting to the marshy conditions with specialized hooves for movement.
