Kafue Town - Just 44 Kilometers From Lusaka!
Kafue town is 44 kilometers south of Lusaka, the capital city of Zambia, and about 428 kilometers from Livingstone. Kafue is a small dormitory town. Most people who stay here work in Lusaka. The rent charges for houses are low and of course the crime rate is low as well – no wonder these people love it here! Industries Industries are non existent, save for the Kafue Steel plant which is being constructed. Most of the industries have closed, including Nitrogen Chemicals which was one of the prominent companies here.

10 kilometers south of Kafue town, on the Kafue River, just about a stone throw away from the Kafue Bridge, is the famous Kafue Queen boat. (See picture on the right). It offers cruises on the Kafue River. Incidentally, the Kafue River forms the boundary between Lusaka province and Southern province.
Right on the Kafue Queen boat you may have weddings, parties and other functions. You can also fish while on the Kafue Queen or the fishermen will take advantage and sell you their catches before you embark or after you disembark from the “Queen”.
