Best of Zambia

Fly into Lusaka, and connect on to a flight up to Mfuwe, the gateway to Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park. Walking safaris were pioneered here, so a few days exploring on foot is simply the best way to make the most of this beautiful park. Experience the sights, sounds and smells of the bush up close with four nights at Chinzombo. Nestled within the shade of ancient trees on a wildlife-rich ridge, Chinzombo brings levels of comfort, style and elegance previously unseen to the Luangwa Valley.

End your trip with five nights of luxury at Sausage Tree Camp in the Lower Zambezi. Watch elephants and buffalo from a canoe as you paddle down the river, look out for leopards on night game drives, and allow yourself to be wowed by the glorious array of birdlife. Fishermen should also come prepared- the tiger fish here are a serious challenge!

From here, fly down to Victoria Falls, and spend two nights at Tongabezi, on the banks of the Zambezi River. Float gently along the river at sunset, go on a game drive in Mosi Oa Tunya National Park, and take a thrilling helicopter ride over the spray.
