Itinerary

From Lusaka International airport you take your domestic scheduled flight to Mfuwe where you will be met by your guide and transferred to Kapani Lodge, set in idyllic grounds overlooking the Kapani Lagoon.  This camp is a very comfortable way of starting your Luangwa safari experience, each of the 10 large suites, is airy with a fridge and overhead fans for your comfort.  Although walks are possible from Kapani we recommend game viewing from vehicles since you will spend more of your time on foot whilst staying at the bushcamps.

Kapani Lodge (B, L, D)

After an early morning game drive and brunch you will be transferred to the first of your remote bushcamps and met by your guide and host.  He will explain the plan for the days ahead and introduce you to your armed escort scout who will accompany each walk.  This afternoon you will venture out on foot for your first experience of a safari in the most traditional manner.

Kapani Lodge (B, L, D)

This morning you will rise early to discuss with your guide some of the bush sounds that may have kept you awake through the night.  If lions were heard calling on the early morning breeze this will influence your guide’s choice of route otherwise you will all set out in the hopes of picking up the fresh tracks of the pride or perhaps a leopard that was patrolling his territory.  The morning walk is usually a slow and leisurely wander through the bush, tea and cool drinks are carried and enjoyed in the shade of a tree or next to the river.

Kapani Lodge (B, L, D)

Today’s morning walk will also act as a transfer to your next bush camp, you will set out early and the walk will finish at your next camp, bags will be in your room and brunch laid out ready for your arrival.  Here as with all Norman Carr camps you will have a choice of game viewing by vehicle or on foot. 

Norman Carr Bush Camp (B, L, D)

Again the choice of a drive, a walk of a combination of both will be offered by your guide, he will discus with you the areas and species that you still wish explore and discover before leaving the Luangwa.  Night drives are a popular feature of the Luangwa, the Park has a very dense concentration of leopard and of course there are a host of other nocturnal animals that will only be seen after the hours of darkness.

The drive to Mfuwe airport heads off through the Park giving you a last opportunity to gaze in awe at a herd of elephants as they cross the Luangwa River in the early morning sun or to sit with a group of the endemic Thornicrofts giraffe.  A short flight will deliver you to Jeki Airstrip in the Lower Zambezi and the next part of your adventure begins.

The airstrip is inside the Park and a short distance from SausageTree Camp.  Set on a beautiful side-water of the main Zambezi River the camp consists of 8 Bedouin style tents, each with a private view of the river.

Sausage Tree Camp (B, L, D)

There is a wide variety of activities to keep you busy in the Lower Zambezi, game viewing can be on foot, by vehicle or by boat, canoeing the quiet side channels is a beautifully peaceful way of spending a morning and for both the experienced fisherman and the complete novice catching your first Zambezi Tiger Fish is a memory that will stay with you for a long while.

Sausage Tree Camp (B, L, D)

Another full day of activities but remember to leave enough time to relax in the cool tranquility of the camp swimming-pool that overlooks the Zambezi floating lazily by.

Sausage Tree Camp (B, L, D)

Today, as usual will start with tea at the camp fire and then a morning walk or perhaps your last float down this beautiful stretch of river for today you will fly on to Livingstone, home of the magnificent Victoria Falls and your last stop in Zambia.

The drive from Livingstone Airport will take you upstream to a stunning bend in the river and to Tongabezi Camp, where each of the rooms has a splendid view across the river and once again you will be offered a wide variety of activities.

Tongabezi Camp (B, L, D)

Tongabezi is indeed one of the most romantic destinations in Africa but do not be tempted to stay in your open fronted room all day because a host of activities await.  Livingstone has become known as the adrenalin capital of Africa with whitewater rafting, bunji jumping, and gorge swings numbering just a few of your options alternatively take lunch on Livingstone Island and swim in a natural rock-pool that quite literally finds you hanging over the edge of the Falls themselves.

Tongabezi Camp (B, L, D)

After a quiet breakfast in your room or on the deck stretching out into the river you will say a last farewell to the Zambezi River and to Zambia before departing from Livingstone Airport. (B)
