This luxurious safari combines Victoria Falls with two of Zambia’s top national parks. It is the ideal combination to enjoy first-rate comfort at renowned camps along with world-class game viewing from a boat, open 4×4 vehicle, and on foot. Longer stays at camp provide time to unwind from daily activities, gaze at the stars at night, and listen to the calls of the wildlife around you. Wonderful camp staff members, trained game trackers and rangers, and talented chefs will take excellent care of you and prepare your meals using the finest fresh ingredients.
Arrive at Lusaka International Airport and connect with the domestic charter flight to Mfuwe. Depending on your arrival time, you might need to overnight in Lusaka the day before, we are happy to assist you with this service if required. Arrive Mfuwe and road transfer to camp. You have arrived in "paradise"! Located well inside the incredible South Luangwa National Park with an outlook onto a private floodplain and watering hole, this remote and elevated landscape is enriched by the rolling gait of giraffe, the heart-shaped nose of the puku, and the midnight whoop of the hyena. You will be spending 4 nights at Puku Ridge including all your meals, selected beverages and the scheduled shared game viewing activities.
The South Luangwa is 9,050 square kilometres and is colloquially referred to as the “Valley of the Leopard” due to such a high density of this elusive African animal being found in the park. The park is still largely uninhabited and unexplored, giving you a remote and private feel. Arguably home to Africa’s best bush walks, you will be able to explore the valley on foot and even encounter some pretty special African animals and walk with the increasingly rare Wild Dogs.
