Classic Safari Experience

Your day begins with an early morning game drive through the floodplains and woodlands of Lower Zambezi National Park. This is prime time to spot predators such as lions and leopards, as well as large herds of elephants and buffalo.

After an exciting morning in the bush, return to the lodge for brunch and leisure time — relax by the infinity pool, enjoy river views, or book a spa treatment. In the late afternoon, venture out again for another game drive, exploring different habitats and wildlife areas.

For those seeking something extra special, an optional night drive offers the chance to see nocturnal animals rarely encountered during the day. Dinner and overnight at the lodge.

Canoeing allows you to quietly approach wildlife along the riverbanks, offering a unique perspective at water level, while walking safaris provide insight into animal tracks, plants, and the smaller details of the ecosystem. Return to the lodge for lunch and relaxation.

In the afternoon, embark on a final sunset river cruise, soaking in the golden light and incredible scenery as wildlife gathers at the water’s edge. Celebrate your last evening with a special farewell dinner.
