Day 1-3
Lusaka to Lower Zambezi National Park
Lusaka to Lower Zambezi National Park
Upon your arrival at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport (Lusaka), you will be met and transferred by road to your lodge in the Lower Zambezi National Park. On arrival at the lodge, you will have time to settle in before tea and your afternoon game drive.
Lower Zambezi National Park covers an area of 4,092 square kilometers (1,580 square miles), with game concentrated on the valley floor. There is an escarpment along the northern end, which acts as a physical barrier to most of the park’s resident wildlife. Enormous herds of elephants, some up to 100 strong, are often seen at the river’s edge. The riverine woodland includes ebony, fig, and albida trees, whose seed pods are a huge attraction to the elephants and browsing animals. Further inland is a floodplain fringed with mopane forest interspersed with winter thorns and huge acacias. Visitors can engage in canoeing safaris, game drives, walking safaris, boat cruises, and fishing.

Lower Zambezi National Park to South Luangwa
After breakfast, you will be transferred by road back to Lusaka for your flight to Mfuwe. On arrival at Mfuwe Airport, you will be met by your safari guide and transferred by road to your camp. You will have time to freshen up before tea and your afternoon game drive.
South Luangwa is 9,060 square kilometers (3,500 square miles) in size and has incredibly diverse landscapes ranging from dense forests of mopane, ebony and sausage trees to wide open savannah punctuated only by the occasional lonely baobab - all hugged by the wide and winding Luangwa River. The river is the most intact major river system in Africa and the lifeblood of this park. The changing seasons add to the park’s richness - from dry bushveld in winter to lush wonderland in summer. Enjoy traditional game drives, walking safaris and water-based boat safaris (water levels permitting).
