Day 1

Welcome to Livingstone

Welcome to Livingstone

Your adventure begins with a flight from Johannesburg to Livingstone, Zambia, where a private road transfer will bring you to the David Livingstone Safari Lodge & Spa. This comfortable hotel blends perfectly into the lush surrounds of the Zambezi River bank, just 5km from the Victoria Falls. All rooms are river-facing, so you can enjoy the very view that once captivated the intrepid explorer and missionary who was the first European to witness the Falls (after whom the hotel is named). This evening, step aboard the Lady Livingstone — the hotel's own beautiful boat moored alongside the lodge — for the quintessential Victoria Falls sundowner cruise on the mighty Zambezi. Welcome to Zambia.

The Victoria Falls Up Close

The Victoria Falls Up Close

This morning, explore the Zambian side of the Victoria Falls on a shared guided tour — offering some of the most dramatic viewpoints anywhere along the gorge. Drenched in spray from "the smoke that thunders," this is an experience that never loses its power. In the afternoon, visit the David Livingstone Museum — one of Zambia's most celebrated cultural institutions and a fascinating window into the life and remarkable journeys of the great explorer whose name this town bears.

A shared road transfer delivers you to Mfuwe Lodge — set inside the park beneath a canopy of ebony and mahogany, with its chalets arranged around two lagoons where an endless stream of wildlife keeps guests enthralled from the open deck or the swimming pool.

Deeper into the Luangwa Wilderness

Deeper into the Luangwa Wilderness

A shared game drive transfer today takes you deeper into the South Luangwa to Chamilandu Bushcamp — one of the Bushcamp Company's most intimate and celebrated addresses, sleeping just eight guests under canvas. Gaze out from your private veranda onto the lagoon that attracts birds and animals from miles around, or settle into the central lounge and dining area — a glorious expanse of varnished decking arranged around surrounding ebony trees, with the same spectacular view of the serene lagoon. This is the South Luangwa at its most immersive.

Walking safaris at dawn, game drives through the park, and the constant theatre of the lagoon in front of camp make for endlessly rewarding days.

A final full day in the South Luangwa — and with your private guide and vehicle at your disposal, the day is entirely yours to craft.
