Discover some of the remotest rivers in Africa

During this 11 days Safari you explore the untamed Zambezi River and discover the ever changing Luangwa River. These very different rivers built part of the Great Rift Valley, the Luangwa drops to very low water levels during the dry season while the Zambezi’s water table will allow water based activities. The Safari starts in Lusaka with a flight to Mfuwe, a 45 minute drive takes you to Kafunta River Lodge. The first days are spent exploring the game rich Mfuwe area. Game activities at Kafunta River Lodge include game viewing in open vehicles and unique night drives to view nocturnal animals, there is also the option to visit the local villages.

A three hour drive from Kafunta River Lodge through the National Park takes you to Island Bush Camp in the very South of the National Park. Island Bush Camp offers rustic bush accommodation in grass/reed huts, build on stilts that ensure safety from wild animals and provide an unlimited view over the Luangwa River. The camp is base for our daily walking safaris, which take place two times a day. In the evening the campfire is the center point to relax and listen to the sounds of the Bush. On return to Mfuwe you will fly to Royal Airstrip in Lower Zambezi only a short distance from Kasaka River Lodge.

The next 4 nights are spent at the luxury Lodge with lots of time to discover the Zambezi River by boat or canoe. The daily activities also include game drives and walking safaris in the National Park. The lodge has en-suited tents and is nestled on the banks of the Zambezi River. The river extends the length of the property and there are breathtaking views over the water with sightings of buffalo, elephant, hippo and crocodile.
This safari ends with a short return flight to Lusaka.
