SAFARI ITINERARY 

Day 1: Tongabezi Camp - Arrive in Livingstone, home of the magnificent Victoria Falls and your first stop in Zambia. The drive from Livingstone Airport will take you upstream to a stunning bend in the river and to Tongabezi Camp, offering wonderful views from each of the rooms. You can chose between the standard chalets or the unique open fronted houses that this camp has become famous for.

Day 2: Tongabezi Camp - Tongabezi is surely one of the most romantic destinations in Africa, but do not be tempted to stay in camp all day because a host of activities await. Livingstone has become known as the adrenalin capital of Southern Africa with whitewater rafting, bunji jumping, and gorge swings numbering just a few of your options. Alternatively take lunch on Livingstone Island and swim in a natural rock-pool that quite literally finds you hanging over the edge of the Falls themselves.

Day 3: Kapani Lodge - After a quiet breakfast in your room or on the deck stretching out into the river you will say farewell to the Zambezi river and depart to Livingstone Airport. The scheduled flight will take you via Lusaka to Mfuwe and the South Luangwa National Park, Zambia’s premier game viewing destination.

Day 4: Kapani Lodge - Kapani Lodge is situated just half an hour's drive from Mfuwe airport and was the home of Norman Carr until his death in 1997. Norman not only established the company that will be hosting you in the Luangwa but was renowned as the founding father of walking safaris. He built the first safari camp in Zambia in 1950 and was influential in developing the conservation policies that are still practiced throughout Southern Africa today. Following an early morning game drive and brunch you will be free to relax in the tranquil gardens at Kapani or cool off in the secluded swimming pool. Alternatively you may wish to visit the local clinic or the school both of which are supported by the company.

Day 5: Mchenja Camp - After brunch you will be transferred to Mchenja Camp, comprising 5 luxurious tents each with its own inside bath and outside shower and toilet commanding private views across the Luangwa River. This afternoon you can chose to drive or walk but we encourage you to venture out on foot for your first experience of a safari in the most traditional manner.

Day 6: Mchenja Camp - This morning you will rise early to discuss with your guide some of the bush sounds that may have kept you awake through the night. If lions were heard calling on the early morning breeze this will influence your guide’s choice of route otherwise you will all set out in the hopes of picking up the fresh tracks of the pride or perhaps a leopard that was patrolling his territory. If you chose to walk it is usually a slow and leisurely wander through the bush. Tea and cool drinks are carried for you and enjoyed in the shade of a tree or next to the river. This evening will be your last in Zambia so we plan to make it memorable - hopefully one of the leopards that frequent the area around camp will perform in the spotlight during your night drive. Dinner will be out under the stars and accompanied, as always, by the sounds of the African night that will fill your dreams for a long time to come.

Day 7: The drive out of camp and towards the airport takes you through an area that is about as densely populated with game as any in Southern Africa. It will be a fitting farewell to the country that has played host to such a memorable holiday. The flight from Mfuwe to Lusaka will take an hour and will connect you to your onward flight.
