Trip code: Z501
A 7 night/8 day safari at US$3695 per person sharing...
This safari has been the favourite of our range in Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia over the last five seasons with our clients. It's good value, logistically simple to arrange and has consistently produced the best overall client feedback...give it careful thought.
Package Includes:
- 1 night at Mfuwe Lodge in the South Luangwa
- 3 nights at Kuyenda, Chamilandu or Chindeni Bush Camp, south of Mfuwe Lodge
- 3 nights at Bilimungwe or Kapamba Bush Camps in the southern sector of the South Luangwa National Park
Highlights:
This safari focuses on walking and driving trails from three seasonal bush camps (backed up walking trails between camps can be arranged on request)
Each bush camp accommodates only 6 guests so a high degree of exclusivity is assured
The guiding standards are amongst the best available in Zambia
The South Luangwa Park is regarded as one of the finest wildlife sanctuaries in Africa. Well known for its large herds of elephant, buffalo, antelope and hippo, and stunning riverine floodplain scenery along the Luangwa River.
Night drives are a specialty, lion and leopard are frequently encountered.
Thornicroft's giraffe and Cookson's wildebeest are endemic
