Best of Zambia Wilderness Safari (10 days)

Welcome to Zambia

Your journey starts with a flight from Lusaka to Mfuwe Airport. On arrival at Mfuwe Airport, you’ll be met and transferred to your camp - the Kakuli by Norman Carr Safaris. Kukuli, means ‘old buffalo bull’ in the local language and was the nickname given to Norman Carr by the local people of the valley. It is a seasonal bush camp that offers some of the best game viewing and night drive safaris in Zambia. 

You will spend the next four nights here with all your meals and selected drinks included. It is an exciting base for walking and game drives in the dry season.

Most relaxed and unique camp

After spending four nights at Kakuli, you’ll be transported to Mfuwe Airport for your flight to the Lower Zambezi. On arrival at Royal Airstrip, you’ll be transferred to the Chongwe River Camp where you will stay for three nights. Situated on the banks of the Chongwe River near the Lower Zambezi National Park, the camp offers a non-intrusive safari experience in a relaxed, natural setting where large herds of elephants roam.

Relaxing in the sitting area overlooking the river, watch the constant procession of game approaching to drink. Home to over 250 bird species, get closer to nature on a guided game drive in an open 4x4 vehicles, on a tranquil canoe safari, find a peaceful spot and try your hand at tiger fishing and enjoy walking safaris. 

Explore the mighty Victoria Falls

Bid farewell to Chongwe River Camp as you're transferred to Royal Airport for your flight to Livingstone International Aiport. When you arrive at Harry Mwanga Nkumbula International Airport, you'll be transferred to the Tongabezi Lodge. This will be your home for the next two nights with all your meals and activities included.​

Tongabezi Lodge offers exceptional accommodation on the banks of the Zambezi River, just upstream from the mighty Victoria Falls. Set under shady trees, sit back and soak up the magnificent views of the Zambezi River gliding by.   

Enjoy doing as much or as little as you want, although there are plenty of activities on offer. From rafting, bungee jumping, bridge swinging, 4x4 game drives in the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park or sunset and sunrise boat cruises on the Zambezi in search of elephant and hippo. You can also enjoy bird watching, local market visits, sampan dinners and a visit to the Livingstone Museum. Of course, be sure to visit ‘The Smoke that Thunders’ in Victoria Falls, which is best viewed up close.

We're sad to see you leave!

Enjoy your final morning activities followed by a leisurely breakfast before being collected and transferred back to Harry Mwanga Nkumbula International Airport, where you board your connecting flight back home.
