Description
Zambia’s top safari destinations have been combined in this safari to give an unforgettable experience which is sure to make you fall in love with this beautiful destination. The Lower Zambezi, is a key national park of Zambia, lies between the rugged and dramatic Zambezi escarpment and the wide and spectacular Zambezi River. the unspoiled South Luangwa National Park, one of the finest ‘jewels’ in Zambia’s crown, and home to one of the most varied collections of wildlife on the planet.
Trip Highlights
Set out on a journey through two of Zambia’s most powerful wildernesses, linking the riverine landscapes of the Lower Zambezi with the sweeping savannahs of South (and Luangwa) Valley. In South Luangwa, track the dense wildlife that has earned the park its reputation as a leopard stronghold—on both day and night drives—while walking trails trace the lesser-seen signs of the bush: spoor, insects, medicinal plants, and the whispers of smaller creatures. Then fly into the Lower Zambezi, where the sinews of the Zambezi River sculpt a mosaic of forests, islands, and floodplains. Here, every mode of exploration is on the table: game drives, boat cruises, canoeing, and night safaris put you in prime position to witness elephants at riverside, predators stalking in the shadows, and a choir of birdlife echoing through the channels. With luxury tented camps in prime locations, seamless transfers, and expert guides guiding every turn, this safari delivers the full range of Zambian landscapes, wildlife encounters, and immersive wilderness moments.
