Real Zambian Adventure : 14 day
The Real Zambian Adventure is a Camping Safari from Lusaka to Lusaka. In only 14 days you will explore the Highlights of this country and will experience an unforgettable holiday. Vast tracts of wilderness and sensational wildlife: these are the hallmarks of Zambia, a huge landlocked country in the heart of Southern Africa.
Day 1 Lusaka, Zambia. You will be met by your guide
on arrival at the airport and transferred to your campsite just outside
of Lusaka. Relax after your flight or explore Zambia's capital. [D]
Day 2-4 Kafue National Park, Zambia. Departing
from Lusaka at 6h30 we head for the northern part of the Kafue National
Park where we'll camp for 3 nights. This reserve, established in 1924,
covers a huge area of wetland and miombo woodland and is a wilderness
sanctuary for lion, elephant, leopard, puku, lechwe and many other antelope
as well as over 400 species of birds. The Kafue River, which forms part
of the eastern boundary of the reserve, is home to hippo and great numbers
of crocodiles. The Kafue is a seldom visited area; untamed stretches of
wilderness reminiscent of ancient primal Africa. [BLD BLD BLD]
Day 5 Lochinvar National Park, Zambia. This National
Park south of Lusaka is situated on the Chunga Lagoon with its abundant
birdlife. The wetlands and surrounding floodplains support herds of buffalo,
lechwe and zebra and we'll take full day to explore the area. Our visits
bring much-needed funds, which help support, the anti-poaching teams in
this area. [BLD]
Day 6-7 Victoria Falls, Zambia. We camp for 2 nights
in Livingstone, Zambia, named after Dr David Livingstone, and visit the
Mosi oa Tunya or 'the smoke that thunders' - Victoria Falls. These magnificent
falls are one of the seven natural wonders of the world. Extra activities
on own expense. [BLD BLD]
Day 8-9 Lake Kariba, Zambia. We make our way to
the shores of Lake Kariba. About 160km downstream of Victoria Falls, Africa's
fourth longest river flows into a vast artificial lake created by one
of the world's largest dams. Explore the area and relax on a boat cruise
as the sun sets. [BLD BLD]
Day 10-13 Lower Zambezi, Zambia. We drive down
into the Lower Zambezi Valley and spend three nights camping on the banks
of the Zambezi River. Enjoy 3 days canoeing down the Zambezi River, home
of the tribal mythical god - Nyami Nyami. The river attracts elephants
and other wildlife from the surrounding wilderness. After a day highlighted
by bird watching and game viewing, relax on your final evening around
a campfire recalling the wonderful memories of a great journey. [BLD BLD
