Welcome to Zambia! Arrive at Harry Mwanga Kaunda International Airport in Lusaka where our Great Safaris representative will greet you warmly. After a brief rest and lunch in the capital, transfer by charter flight to South Luangwa National Park, one of Africa's most spectacular game reserves. Settle into your comfortable lodge accommodation and enjoy an evening orientation with your expert guide, learning about the park's ecosystem and wildlife.

Rise before dawn for an exhilarating early morning game drive through South Luangwa's vast plains and riverine forests. Your expert guide will track the Big Five and other iconic African wildlife. The park is renowned for its elephant populations and predator activity. Return to the lodge for a hearty breakfast, rest during the heat of the day, and embark on an afternoon game drive to maximize your wildlife viewing opportunities.

Experience the African wilderness on foot with a guided walking safari through South Luangwa's diverse ecosystems. Walking safaris offer a unique perspective, allowing you to observe smaller wildlife, insects, and plants while feeling truly connected to nature. Your guide will share fascinating insights about animal behavior, tracking techniques, and conservation efforts. In the afternoon, enjoy a scenic boat safari along the Luangwa River, where you'll spot hippos, crocodiles, and waterbirds in their natural habitat.

Depart South Luangwa after breakfast and transfer to Lower Zambezi National Park, a dramatic landscape where the mighty Zambezi River creates a natural boundary with Zimbabwe. This scenic journey takes you through changing terrain and vegetation zones. Upon arrival at your riverside camp, settle in and enjoy an afternoon game drive or relaxation by the river. The park is less crowded than South Luangwa, offering a more intimate safari experience with excellent wildlife viewing opportunities.

Discover the unique ecosystem of Lower Zambezi with a full day of exploration. Begin with an early morning game drive along the riverine plains where large elephant herds congregate. The afternoon features a memorable canoe safari down the Zambezi River, paddling silently through wildlife-rich waters where you may encounter hippos, crocodiles, and various water birds. This combination of land and water-based activities provides a comprehensive view of the park's incredible biodiversity.

Transfer to Victoria Falls, one of the world's most spectacular natural wonders and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Spend the morning exploring the falls from the Zambian side with a professional guide who will explain the geological formations and local history. In the afternoon, enjoy a cultural visit to a local village where you'll meet Zambian communities, learn about traditional customs, and support local artisans. The experience provides meaningful insight into the human side of Zambia alongside its natural wonders.

Enjoy a final breakfast at your lodge while reflecting on your incredible Zambian safari adventure.
