Start off early fom Lusaka to arrive at Kasaka Mid day, Check in and settle in your tent

Departing Lusaka by road, your convoy winds through rural Zambia—small roadside markets, farming communities, and village life offering a genuine look into the country’s spirit. This isn’t the Zambia seen from the sky—this is Zambia felt on the ground, shared with its people.
Descending into the lush Zambezi Valley, you arrive at Kasaka Self-Catering Camp, your riverside base set within the wild buffer zone of the Lower Zambezi National Park. Elephant pathways, hippo grunts through the night, and fish eagles overhead remind you that here, nature is in charge. This afternoon you will take a slow river cruise and enjoy a sundowner on the mighty Zambezi before returning back to camp to freshen up, pre dinner drinks and then your dinner before calling it a day.

Morning Game Drive – Lower Zambezi

Leave Kasaka at first light as the valley wakes. This is the best time for predators and fresh tracks. Expect elephant herds on the move, antelope in the golden glow, and powerful birdlife along the river. With Kasaka’s proximity to the park, you’re quickly immersed in wild Africa—an energising, unforgettable start to the day.

Afternoon/Sunset Game Drive – Lower Zambezi

From Kasaka, head into the park as the heat fades and wildlife becomes active again. Watch elephants crossing channels, buffalo gathering and predators preparing to hunt. Enjoy sundowners with the Zambezi sunset, then search by spotlight on the return for nocturnal animals. A perfect blend of adventure and romance in the wild.

Early morning Canoeing Safari followed by afternoon Tiger fishing

Morning

Drift quietly along the Zambezi with only the dip of your paddle breaking the silence. From your canoe, you feel part of the river—eye-level with basking crocodiles, hippos wallowing, and elephants drinking at the water’s edge. Expert river guides ensure comfort and safety while sharing stories of the river, wildlife behaviour, and local culture. This is the most intimate way to experience the Lower Zambezi

Afternoon

Later, board a river boat for an exhilarating session of tiger fishing—Africa’s fiercest freshwater sport fish. Whether you’re a beginner or seasoned angler, the thrill of a strike will leave your pulse racing. Between casts, take in herds of elephant on the banks and the endless birdlife above. As the sun drops, anchor in a quiet channel. Ice-cold drinks come out, the river glows gold, and hippo calls echo through the valley. This pairing of canoeing and tiger fishing delivers two of the Lower Zambezi’s most iconic river experiences in one day.

Walk and Game drive in the Lower Zambezi national park

As dawn breaks, set out on foot with your professional guide for the most intimate safari of all—walking among Africa’s big game. Trace the night’s stories written in tracks, broken branches and fresh scents. Feel the earth beneath your boots, listen to the bush wake, and truly connect with the wild in a way no vehicle can offer.

Return to camp for a well-earned bush brunch overlooking the valley. Slow down, share sightings, and savour the peace of the Zambezi afternoon.

Later, end your safari in style on a final sunset game drive. As golden light fills the river plains, witness the park come alive one last time. With cameras full and hearts fuller, this unforgettable day becomes the perfect conclusion to your Lower Zambezi adventure.
