10 Days - 9 Nights
-
Zambia is arguably one of the ultimate destinations for ardent safari goers. Without mass tourism the game viewing experience is on a whole different level. In some areas you can drive the whole day and not see one other vehicle making sightings somewhat 'extra' special.
Starting in Livingstone - home to the mighty Victoria Falls - it truly is a sight to behold. Flying between the different parks ensures that you get the most out of your game viewing and allows you a window over the ever changing (and fascinating) countryside.
Your comfort has not been forgotten - with three very different properties chosen especially for their high levels of service, luxury and overall for their excellent guiding; making your holiday one that you will never forget. It is little wonder that so many people return to Zambia again and again each year.
Highlights
-
Livingstone
The city of Livingstone is often visited as the gateway to Zambia. This is not a surprise when you learn that it is only 11km from the Zambia side of the incredible Victoria Falls. There is also plenty here to extend your stay.
-
Victoria Falls
Resting on the southern banks of the mighty Zambezi river at the western end of the eponymous falls of the same name, the popular tourist town of Victoria Falls is compact enough to walk around and makes and ideal base for travellers exploring the seventh wonder of the world.
-
South Luangwa National Park
The southernmost of the three national parks of the Luangwa River, South Luangwa National Park is a world-renowned wildlife haven. The river provides for a huge variety of both animal and birdlife.
-
Lower Zambezi National Park
Lower Zambezi National Park is a relatively untouched natural beauty. Its isolated location, coupled with the larger surrounding game management area, means you are unlikely to encounter another tourist whilst traveling around.
