From Livingstone: 3-days safari travel to Kafue National Park (southern part) tour
Lochinvar Safaris has been doing great work. I had excellent time with them for three full days.
Not only that but booking and discussion about plan was smooth. Mark is great communicator and organizer. His team is well committed to provide good experience for customers. We left Livingstone in the morning, and throughout a day there are lots of information Zambia’s history and tradition.
One of first highlights was visiting Pioneer cemetery, originally dedicated to Rhodesian Pioneers. Must visit for anyone who’s interested in this part of Zambia history.
Drive to (and back from) Kafue NP is great, opportunity to visit local villages and how people live, plus view of great flora and fauna.
Two nights stay at Itezhi tezhi town was well experience. Good accommodation, nice host and people who work there. It was great opportunity to have good dishes made of local ingredients, mostly fresh fish from nearby lake.
The second day was drive in KNP, again great flora and fauna. Lots of opportunity to see various birds (like national bird Fish Eagle) and various animals. The safari guide was native from Kafue NP, very knowledgeable about his native land. We also visited Game Rangers International (located in KNP), dedicated to rescue mostly orphaned elephants.
Finally, it was nice visiting Longola Hot Springs, and have opportunity to see how local people enjoy it very much.

You want the Zambia experience book Lochinvar Safaris!
If you want to see the real Zambia go with Lochinvar Safaris! We travelled with Mark from Lusaka to Livingstone , with 4 people in a jeep. He gave us a lot of information and history of Zambia, really interesting! We saw the real life of the Zambian people. We ate with our hands in local restaurants. Every day we had a briefing over the next day, the time schedule is flexible. Dutch people are more strickt, I guess. The lodge we sleep in Livingstone was standard, the beds are short, but okay. It was clean but nog very fancy or luxury. We made some tours, really like the boat safari! We had one day of and Mark booked for us rafting at the Zambezi, great experience!!! If you want to see the big 5, or other wild animals, you go to Botswana at your free day. I’ve heard that’s really cool! The little park in Livingstone you can see the rhinos. I’ve had a very good time and one day I hope to see Zambia again!
