This trip takes in two of Zambia’s best known national parks; Kafue and Lower Zambezi. You start at the spectacular Victoria Falls before heading north into Kafue’s southern plains. Make your way north through this incredibly remote national park, where you are unlikely to see another vehicle, before heading south east via Lusaka down to Lower Zambezi. Famous for its elephant and hippo populations and river safaris, Lower Zambezi is another park that offers a wilder game viewing experience. You can take canoeing or boat safaris on the river, which often gives the best sightings and proves an interesting contrast to viewing from your vehicle. You make your way back to Livingstone and finish on the banks of the Zambezi.
Today you arrive in Livingstone where you will be collected and taken to Waterberry Lodge on the banks of the Zambezi. You will spend your first two nights here.
Today you set off on your self drive adventure as you head to Kafue National Park. Nanzhila Plains is in the south of the park in a wonderful, remote area.
Drive further into the park, game viewing as you go, and end up on the shores of Lake Itezhi-Tezhi.
The camp is situated on the banks of the gorgeous Kafue River, where you can sit and admire the stunning African sunset. Elephant often wander through the camp and hippos sometimes come up from the waters to graze in the moonlight.
Make your way out of Kafue and you will drive through Lusaka today, stocking up as you go, before stopping for the night at Latitude 15.
Today you head down to the Lower Zambezi, where you will spend two nights camping at this great spot. There are plenty of land and water-based activities on offer at the lodge here.
Today you drive to one of our favourite camps, Chongwe River Camp. A nice break from the camping! You stay here for 2 nights on a fully inclusive basis as a treat near the end of your stay.
Today you leave the Lower Zambezi and begin your journey back to Livingstone. You will break the journey at Moorings Campsite.
You reach Livingstone once more and end the trip with a relaxing night at Royal Livingstone Hotel.
Today you will be transferred to the airport in good time for your international flight home.
