Liuwa Camping Safari

Pick-up from the airport in Livingstone and transfer to our lodge in the outskirts of town. In the late afternoon a visit to the Victoria Falls (optional, U$ 20 pp entrance fee). Overnight in Safari Tents at Maramba River Lodge or similar. Dinner in a restaurant (own expense). (-/-/-)

After breakfast we drive along the course of the Zambezi River up to the beautiful Ngonye Falls; not as mighty as the “big brother” further south, but equally impressive. The Zambezi splits into several channels and the masses of water find their way through the basalt rock formations. We will hike to an island to get the best view of the falls.

Camping near the river. (FB).

Today we drive further north to Mongu and cross the Barotse flood plains to the Liuwa Plains National Park. There are few roads; however this is part of the park’s attraction: around 3660km² of untouched Africa. Most of this is a vast honey-coloured plain of grass, with just the occasional water pan, island of raffia palms or a small tree-belt interrupting the scenery.

End of October tens of thousands of Gnu (about 45.000) as well as zebra and buffalo will join the more resident red lechwe and reedbuck.

The open plains are particularly good for oribi. Hyena are the main predators here, while wild dog, cheetah and lion are dispersed on the plains.

Camping in the bush (running water, showers and flush toilets are present). (3x FB)

Drive to Mongu, our stop-over at the edge of the Barotse floodplains. Here we have the possibility to stock up for the next few days in Kafue National Park. Camping on the shore of a beautiful lake. (FB).

We set off early and drive on the good paved road in Eastern direction. We spend a total of 3 days in this huge park: depending on the season either near the remote Busanga Plains in the Northern part of the park, in November we stay 2 nights in the Southern area around Lake Ithezi Thezi as well as 1 night in the central area of the park
3x camping (3x FB). )

road to Zambia’s capital Lusaka. We stay overnight on the beautiful campsite of Lukasa Guesthouse. Dinner in prepared by our host. (FB).

In the morning, we drive down the escarpment to the Zambezi Valley. A visit to the Lower Zambezi National park is one of the highlights of any trip to Zambia. A region rich in wildlife and exceptionally beautiful scenery awaits us here. The Zambezi River on one side and the escarpment on the other provide a magnificent backdrop for our wildlife viewing. One afternoon, we will take a boat trip and enjoy the atmosphere at sunset. 3 nights at Lower Zambezi Lodge (3x FB).
