DAY 1-3: SOUTH LUANGWA NATIONAL PARK

Your adventure begins in the pristine wilderness of South Luangwa National Park, where you will spend the first few days exploring one of Africa’s most renowned wildlife havens. Bordering the Luangwa River, this park is known for its breathtaking landscapes and successful conservation efforts. Upon arrival, settle into your comfortable lodge nestled in the heart of the park, blending seamlessly into the natural surroundings.

Early morning game drives offer an exhilarating start to the day as you set off in customized safari vehicles designed for optimal wildlife viewing. With the rising sun casting a golden hue over the savannah, keep your eyes peeled for elephants, hippos, and even the elusive lion. The expertise of your guide will enhance your experience, sharing insights and stories about the animals and their habitats.

Afternoons are perfect for leisurely game drives or walking safaris, where you can immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of the African bush. The walking safaris, led by professional armed guides, provide an intimate and thrilling perspective on the wildlife and landscapes. As evening falls, enjoy a sundowner amidst the dramatic backdrop of an African sunset, followed by a nighttime drive where the spotlight reveals nocturnal creatures.

DAYS 4-6: LOWER ZAMBEZI

Next, journey to the untamed beauty of the Lower Zambezi, a region celebrated for its rich wildlife and stunning scenery. The Lower Zambezi National Park, located on the southern border of Zambia, offers a unique blend of adventure and tranquility. Here, your days will be filled with diverse activities, from game drives to walking safaris, all set against the backdrop of vast floodplains and rugged woodlands.

In the mornings, explore the park on foot with experienced walking guides who will teach you about the flora and fauna, animal tracks, and the intricate ecosystem. The thrill of encountering wildlife up close in their natural habitat is an experience like no other. In the afternoons, take to the water with a canoe safari, gliding silently along the Zambezi River, where you can observe hippos, crocodiles, and an array of birdlife.

Evenings are perfect for river cruises, offering a serene way to witness the spectacular sunsets over the Zambezi. The region’s unspoiled beauty and the abundance of wildlife make each day an extraordinary adventure.

DAYS 7-11: VICTORIA FALLS

Conclude your journey at the magnificent Victoria Falls, one of the world’s most awe-inspiring natural wonders. Known locally as ‘Mosi-Oa-Tunya’ or ‘The Smoke that Thunders,’ this UNESCO World Heritage Site is a must-see for any visitor to Zambia. Your lodge, situated near the Zambezi River, provides the perfect base to explore this iconic landmark.

Spend your days experiencing the falls from various perspectives. Enjoy guided tours that take you to the best vantage points, where you can marvel at the sheer power and beauty of the cascading water. For the adventurous, activities such as white-water rafting, bungee jumping, and zip-lining offer an adrenaline rush. Alternatively, relax with a sunset boat cruise on the Zambezi River, where you can unwind and reflect on your incredible journey.
