Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park / Victoria Falls

Did you know that Livingstone's Mosi-oa-Tunya NP got Square-lipped Rhinos aka White Rhinos? In the morning when it is still cool we will head to the national park and go on a walking safari. This is our chance to see nature from the ground level, check for tracks, talk about plants and their use. The aim is to find some of the White Rhinos and see them from a close range. After this exhausting exercise we have a picnic by the river.
A visit to Livingstone isn't complete without seeing the Victoria Falls. To do this is the plan for the afternoon.
Accommodation is in rooms. Lunch and dinner is at own accounts.

We move further north but still in Kafue National Park. This park is the largest and most biodiverse in Zambia. It's similar in size to Wales or Massachusetts. Since we are inside the national park we do a game drive all the way to the next camp. We cross numerous small creeks, drive over hills always on the lookout for animals and birds. Our camp is on the banks of the Kafue River and we will stay in our comfortable canvas tents. On Day 6 we will do some of the game drive loops.
