Dash to the Bush 

Trip Code:  JZ01

A 7 night/8 day safari at Nkwali Camp in South Luangwa National Park, Zambia
2009 Season – January to May 

Safari Outline
Starting and ending in Mfuwe, includes

• 7 nights at Nkwali Camp in the South Luangwa 
  
• This safari is excellent for those guests who are keen on the combination of game drives, walks and boat trips.
• The Luangwa Valley is at its most dramatic in the Emerald Season, with the Luangwa River now flowing over into the brimming lagoons. Boating into these lagoons, flooded ebony groves and flowing channels gives you a view of the Valley which is normally inaccessible during this season.

Highlights

• With the bush at peak growth many of the animal species, from mammals to birds, are breeding.
• The crystal clear days give way to dramatic skyscapes as the storms build in the late afternoon light.
• The nights are usually when the rain falls, giving rise to clear mornings – perfect for photography.
• The wildlife move to the drier areas where there is the option to drive or walk. These activities, along with the boating ensure the safari experience is an adventure.
• 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. 

Best Season
This safari runs during the Emerald season between January and May only.  After May it will be dry season so no boat trips to Nsefu.

Access
Scheduled daily flights into Mfuwe from Lusaka and daily charters from Lilongwe (Malawi) 

Tips and notes
