Safari in Zambia’s South Luangwa and Lower Zambezi

Unveiling the Secrets of South Luangwa

Your Zambian odyssey begins from Lusaka, the capital and largest city of Zambia, with a short flight to Mfuwe Airport. Here, you'll be met and transferred into South Luangwa National Park, a land of diverse beauty. Lush riverine forests teeming with life contrast with sprawling savannahs dotted with iconic baobab trees. Here, at the luxurious Kafunta River Lodge, perched on the banks of the life-giving Luangwa River, you'll stay for 2 nights overlooking the floodplain.

Unforgettable Encounters:

• Embark on thrilling game drives in open vehicles, encountering a dazzling array of wildlife – from majestic elephants and graceful giraffes to elusive leopards and prides of lions.
• Experience the magic of a ‘walking safari,’ a South Luangwa speciality, where you'll feel the untamed wilderness beneath your feet and connect with nature in a profound way.
• Relax in your private chalet with a verandah overlooking the vibrant floodplain, where a daily spectacle of wildlife unfolds before your eyes.
