Busanga Plains

A visit to the Busanga Plains is to experience a safari adventure in one of the largest parks in Africa, Kafue National Park. It is home to a variety of antelope herds, zebras, hippos, as well as lions. You can also spend your days cruising the river doing some catch-and-release fishing or simply bask in the comfort of your camp, taking in the wilderness that stretches as far as your eyes can see.

Victoria Falls

Looking for a romantic getaway? The mystical Victoria Falls is the place to visit. Enjoy long strolls and the occasional refreshing showers under the falls. One of the wonders of the world, the thundering echo of this natural phenomenon just leaves you awestruck. Open-fronted cottages are available for your accommodation so your experience with nature is even more intimate.Unique attractions include the Boiling Pot and The Devil’s Pool.

South Luangwa National Park

This renowned park is the original birthplace of the walking safari. Large populations of wildlife have made this place home, so you simply have to pick your spot and enjoy the view. There are herds of zebra and giraffe, as well as  lions, and hippos to see on your game drives and walking safari. At night, you get to retreat to the remote and cozy safari bushcamp deep in the park as the bright stars above help create an outdoor ambiance like no other.

Lower Zambezi National Park

Located along the northern banks of the Zambezi River, this seldom-visited wildlife park is home to buffaloes, elephants, leopards, and antelopes and you can enjoy your game viewing from the comfort of a drive or a boat cruise along the rivers, while enjoying the constant chirps and singing from the vast array of birdlife all over the place.

North Luangwa National Park

Looking to take your walking safari experience up a notch? North Luangwa is a remote region with just a handful of tiny bushcamps, so you are assured a long day of trekking. Enjoy the almost addictive thrill of ambling through lush grass or dusty sandbanks on the trail of wild animals. Even if you don’t get to see them, your guide will explain the paw prints and

animal scat and what to expect.

Shoebill Island Camp

The Bangweulu Wetlands is home to the elusive, prehistoric-looking shoebill. Get your camera and head on down to begin your search.

Liuwa Plain National Park

A rarely visited region in the extreme west  that boasts vast, grass-covered plains and various wildlife and birdlife species.

Shiwa Ng’andu
