CLASSIC ZAMBIA (SILVER)
KEY DETAILS
OVERVIEW
Classic Zambia safari is an eight night safari itinerary that visits two national parks with distinctly different characteristics.
The safari starts with your arrival into Lusaka where you connect onwards to Mfuwe, from here you transfer by safari vehicle to South Luangwa National Park. Here you will visit two safari camps, Nkwali and Nsefu, for a total of five nights, allowing you to get a good feel for the valley and its abundant and diverse wildlife. Due to large parts of the South Luangwa being forested, leopards, in particular, are often sighted.
The safari finishes with a flight back to Lusaka and then eastwards, crossing the escarpment and dropping down into the Lower Zambezi Valley, with three nights at Old Mondoro. The Lower Zambezi National Park, sitting opposite Mana Pools in Zimbabwe, is sandwiched between the Zambezi River and the escarpment and is quite remote; as a result, is still relatively undeveloped – its beauty lies in its pristine wilderness state.
The safari starts and ends in Lusaka, Zambia.
