ZAMBIA – Home of the Victoria Falls, spectacular wildlife, superb safaris, great adventures, rich culture and friendly people. Recommended itinerary in Zambia: North and South Luangwa Safari.

This itinerary is perfect for those with a sense of adventure!

DAYS 1 & 2: Arrive to Lusaka airport where you will connect with your flight to Mfuwe, the gateway to the South Luangwa National Park. Transfer by road or air to Tafika Camp.  At Tafika enjoy day and night game drives, walks, cycling, visit the local village and take to the skies in a microlight.

DAYS 3–5: Transfer to Chikoko Trails Walking Camps. Immerse yourself in the sights, scents and sounds of the bush on our walking trails staying at either Chikoko Tree Camp or Crocodile Tree Camp for three nights.

DAYS 6–8: Transfer to the Tafika airstrip for your flight aircraft flight to the North Luangwa National Park.  On arrival you will be driven by open 4x4 to Mwaleshi Camp, located on the banks of the Mwaleshi River. You are now truly remote with no other camps for miles and miles. Mwaleshi Camp, an enigmatic walking camp, accommodates only 6 to 8 guests. This is a place of peace and simplicity, contrasted with stunning wildlife action. The excitement of watching lion hunting waterbuck in front of camp, or observing huge herds of buffalo and the endemic Cookson’s wildebeest on foot are some of the experiences that might draw you to Mwaleshi Camp.

DAY 9: Say farewell to Mwaleshi when you board your light aircraft flight to Mfuwe airport to connect with your flight to Lusaka.

Janine, who has visited these camps, says ‘This safari completely touched my soul. Spend time with some of the best guides and the most hospitable hosts in Africa and feel the rush as you track lion and other big game on foot, cycle through the African bush, or take a thrilling microlight flight over the South Luangwa.’
