After breakfast, embark on a private guided visit to Victoria Falls. Explore the rainforest trails and viewpoints on the Zambian side while learning about the history, geology and significance of Mosi-oa-Tunya, the “Smoke That Thunders.” Return to your lodge for an afternoon of relaxation before enjoying a private or premium sunset cruise on the Zambezi River.

Enjoy a relaxed morning at your luxury lodge. Later, choose from carefully selected optional experiences such as a scenic helicopter flight over Victoria Falls, a cultural visit, or a private Zambezi activity. In the evening, enjoy a refined dinner featuring regional cuisine in the peaceful surroundings of the Zambezi.

After breakfast, transfer to the airport for your scheduled flight toward Mfuwe, the gateway to South Luangwa National Park. On arrival, your safari representative will transfer you to your luxury lodge or tented camp. After settling in, enjoy your first afternoon game drive through the Luangwa wilderness, followed by dinner under the African night sky.

Spend the day exploring South Luangwa on morning and afternoon game drives. The park’s riverine habitats and seasonal plains support abundant wildlife, including elephants, hippos, buffalo, giraffes, antelope and a variety of predators. Return to camp between activities to relax and enjoy the facilities before heading out again in the afternoon.

Begin the morning with a guided walking safari through the South Luangwa wilderness. With an experienced guide, discover animal tracks, plants, birds and the smaller details that can be missed from a vehicle. After a leisurely lunch and time to relax at camp, enjoy an afternoon game drive as wildlife becomes active in the cooler temperatures.

Enjoy another exceptional day in South Luangwa with a flexible safari programme. Depending on your preference, combine a morning game drive with a leisurely afternoon at the lodge or take a longer safari into the park with a picnic lunch. Your guide will tailor the experience around wildlife activity, photography opportunities and your interests.

Enjoy a final early-morning game drive in South Luangwa, taking advantage of the cooler conditions and active wildlife. Return to the lodge for breakfast and some leisure time before your final afternoon safari experience. Celebrate your journey with a memorable farewell dinner surrounded by the sounds of the African bush.

After breakfast, transfer to Mfuwe Airport for your onward flight, connecting through Lusaka or another scheduled gateway as appropriate. Your luxury Zambia safari concludes with memories of Victoria Falls, the Zambezi River and the remarkable wilderness of South Luangwa.
