Day 2-4

Discover South Luangwa

Discover South Luangwa

Light aircraft transfer from Lusaka to South Luangwa brings you into Zambia’s most rewarding safari region, where winding rivers, ebony groves, and fertile floodplains support exceptional concentrations of wildlife. Staying at Flatdogs Camp places you on the edge of the park, with constant views of the Luangwa River and its resident hippos and crocodiles.

Days begin with early morning game drives when lions, leopards, and wild dogs are most active, followed by a relaxed return to camp. In the late afternoon, head out again as wildlife gathers along the riverbanks, often continuing into night drives to spot elusive nocturnal species. For a deeper connection, guided walking safaris reveal the smaller details of the bush, from tracks to birdlife, creating a truly immersive and intimate safari experience.

Day 5-7

Go Deeper in South Luangwa

Go Deeper in South Luangwa

Remaining within South Luangwa while shifting camps allows the landscape to unfold in layers. With familiarity comes confidence: longer walks, quieter sightings, and a deeper focus on behaviour rather than numbers. Early morning game drives explore different sectors of the park, often tracking lions, leopards, and large herds as they move through the valley. Afternoons bring unhurried drives that transition into night safaris, revealing nocturnal species and the changing dynamics of the bush.

Guided walking safaris are a highlight here, offering the chance to track wildlife on foot, pause beneath winterthorn trees, and interpret signs often missed from a vehicle. With skilled guides, you begin to understand how animals use the terrain, water, and cover. Time back at camp, overlooking the floodplain, provides space to absorb the experience as the valley slowly reveals its patterns.

Main Destination:
South Luangwa National Park
Accommodation:
Kafunta River Lodge

Day 8-10

Following the Zambezi to Livingstone

Following the Zambezi to Livingstone

The journey concludes beside the Zambezi, where scale replaces subtlety. Victoria Falls reshapes the senses with mist drifting through the rainforest and thunder carried on the air. Above the Falls, the river is wide and calm, inviting river cruises, gentle exploration, or moments of stillness. It is a place to reflect on the experiences had on safari.
