Day 1

Arrival

Arrival

On arrival at Lusaka International Airport, you will be met by a Robin Pope Safaris' representative who will have a name board with your names. You will be assisted with checking in for your flight to Mfuwe, South Luangwa. The flight is on average one hour. At Mfuwe International Airport a guide from Robin Pope Safaris will meet you for game drive transfer to Tena Tena, in the Nsefu Sector of the South Luangwa. The Nsefu Sector was recognized then as a phenomenal area and it still is. Robin Pope Safaris owns the only two camps in this sector of the Park.

Day 2-4

South Luangwa

South Luangwa

After breakfast around the campfire, your safari will continue with another relaxing day in the Nsefu Sector, with morning and evening game activities. Depending on time of year an all day picnic drive covering different habitats comes highly recommended and is an exceptional day’s safari.

A few more days to explore the Tena Tena area fully - a chance to drive or walk through the ebony groves. Or you may decide this is an ideal day, depending on the heat and time of year, to explore further afield. Possibly a day tour to Kawaza village for a cultural experience or Tribal Textiles to get some insight on local industry plus a chance to buy some souvenirs.
Nothing is set in stone and your days will be designed and planned with you bearing your interests in mind.

You can mix and match activities to maximize your experience in this game rich and remote area of the Luangwa.

Lower Zambezi

In the morning you fly to Lower Zambezi your flight to Jeki for Tusk and Mane in Lower Zambezi National Park.

Kutali is a comfortable tented camp with all the luxuries one could wish for, but with the charm and ethos of a true seasonal bush-camp. With just 5 guest tents, catering for no more than 10 people in camp at once - each tent is carefully and expertly located for the best possible views across the Zambezi River. The Kutali tents are bespoke and very comfortable, with high quality linen and mattresses, alongside flushing toilets, running water taps and traditional bucket-showers! A main area stretch-canvas tent set beneath the towering Winterthorn trees makes for an exceptional location for meals, reading, charging cameras and wildlife watching.

Full-day game drives allow for exploration of the vast plains and visits to other renowned destinations within the area.

The Busanga Plains are renowned for their high concentration of predators, including the famous ‘swamp lions,’ and offer excellent opportunities to spot cheetahs and leopards.
