Inspiration for your own tailor-made trip
Victoria Falls,The South Luangwa
100% customisable for you
Your flight lands in the early morning and you have plenty of time to connect on to your onward flight to Lusaka, the Zambian capital. The connecting flight takes around three-and-a-half-hours, arriving at around lunchtime. You're nearly there, but in case the children start to flag remind them that their final destination - the South Luangwa National Park - is a properly remote part of the country, so well worth the journey.
The flight from Lusaka to Mfuwe takes a further hour and then it's a fun (and short) road transfer through banana plantations and bustling markets to your home for the next three nights, a family-friendly house on the banks of the Luangwa River. There should be time for a first game drive this evening, followed by a sundowner drink and early bed.
Sadly, today you are saying goodbye to the South Luangwa, but before you do there's still time for a special visit to a wonderful local textiles company on the way back to the airport in Mfuwe. You and the children can buy fun things such as giraffe height charts, elephant dung cards (!) and elegant cushion covers, all made by the local community. Laden with your new souvenirs, take the flight from Mfuwe to Livingstone, the gateway to the nearby Victoria Falls, one of the most spectacular natural wonders in the world, let alone Africa. Try to make sure the children are sitting by the window on the flight because the views of the Zambezi below, with elephants grazing on islands in the channel, are amazing.
You will be met at the airport for the short transfer to the next accommodation on your Zambia family safari, situated right on the banks of the Zambezi River upstream of the falls.
