Itinerary

100% customisable for you

Land in Johannesburg and connect across to the onward flight to Lusaka. On arrival into the Zambian capital, you will be met at the airport by a member of our team and transferred to Mfuwe, a village on the doorstep of the glorious South Luangwa National Park. It's only 40 minutes to your first stop within the national park, after passing through the bustling Mfuwe town. Soak up the atmosphere until you enter the park and arrive at your luxury lodge where you will be staying for the night.

After a delicious breakfast, set off on a 4x4 safari drive, travelling out of South Luangwa park to Mfuwe international airport where you'll be catching a short flight to the Lower Zambezi. During the flight keep your eyes glued to the windows as you fly into the Lower Zambezi National Park, dotted with elephant on islands and in the middle of the mighty Zambezi river, enjoying an utterly unforgettable perspective of the stunning surroundings.

Once you land you will be taken to your intimate luxury camp where you will be staying for the next four nights.

From the Lower Zambezi, you'll be travelling to the south of the country to the thundering Victoria Falls or 'Mosi-oa-Tunya' as it is locally known, translating as 'The Smoke That Thunders'. A short one-hour flight takes you to The Falls, where you will be staying for the final three nights of your Ultimate Zambia Safari in a lovely lodge nestled within tranquil gardens.

After you've unpacked, settled in and enjoyed a late lunch, head out on an afternoon river cruise. Drift along and soak up the views as you sip sundowners - the ultimate introduction to this watery wonderland. It is time to relax - safaris can be exhausting!
