  • Los Llanos del Kafue (localmente llamados Butwa​) son una vasta área de pantanos, lagunas abiertas y terrenos inundables en el cauce medio del río Kafue en las provincias del Sur, Central y de Lusaka en Zambia. Esta inmensa llanura de inundación cuyas aguas apenas alcanzan un metro de profundidad en época de lluvias tiene 240 km de longitud y 50 km de anchura.​ Las zonas más profundas forman lagunas permanentes y áreas pantanosas. Las menos profundas se secan formando un horizonte de arcillas oscuras.
