Zambia’s wild heart, from South Luangwa’s plains to the Lower Zambezi’s tranquil waters.
Itinerary
Your journey begins with a departure from Johannesburg to Lusaka. After your flight, continue to Mfuwe, where you will be greeted and transported by road to Flatdogs Camp, located on the outskirts of South Luangwa National Park. Relax in your chalet and let the wild surroundings welcome you.
Depending on your arrival time, you might even head out on your first afternoon game drive, a perfect introduction to the valley’s untamed beauty.
Highlights:
Wake early for a morning drive with an experienced guide. This is prime time for predator sightings. Later, enjoy some downtime at camp or relax by the pool. As the sun dips, head out again for a night drive, when the bush reveals a different kind of drama.
Highlight:
Enjoy another day to discover the park’s diverse landscapes, ranging from riverine forest to open savanna. You may choose to join a walking safari, one of the best ways to experience the bush in its purest form. Afternoon or evening game drives are also available.
Highlights:
After breakfast, transfer to Mfuwe Airport for your flight to the Lower Zambezi. A short transfer brings you to Zambezi Grande, perched above the river. Settle into your room and enjoy the tranquillity of the riverfront setting, perhaps with a sundowner before dinner.
Highlight:
Today offers a range of ways to experience the park, from open-vehicle game drives to river safaris. Keep an eye out for elephant herds crossing the water and try your hand at catch-and-release fishing. Later, take in the golden light from your private veranda.
Highlight:
Rise early for a walking safari, led by expert trackers who share their knowledge of the bush. After lunch, enjoy a siesta or book a spa treatment before heading out on another afternoon drive.
Highlight:
Your final full day in the park creates the opportunity to drift along the river on a boat safari or explore further afield on a guided drive. There is time to reflect, relax, or participate in an optional cultural visit to the nearby village.
Highlights:
After breakfast, transfer to Royal Airstrip for your flight back to Lusaka. Depending on your schedule, there may be a chance for a final pause before boarding your return flight to Johannesburg.
You arrive in South Africa with new stories and memories of the bush still fresh.

This 8-day journey through Zambia brings you into the quiet rhythms of two remarkable wilderness areas: South Luangwa and the Lower Zambezi. Begin in South Luangwa National Park, where river valleys and open plains hold an extraordinary diversity of wildlife. Early and late drives reveal predators at their most active, while guided walks offer a more intimate way to read the tracks and movements of the bush.
Continue to the Lower Zambezi, where life follows the slow pulse of the river. Explore by boat, vehicle, or foot, observing elephant herds wading through the shallows and fish eagles circling overhead. Try catch-and-release tiger fishing or simply sit on your veranda, listening to the calls that carry across the water.
Throughout, you’ll stay in small, characterful lodges that keep you close to the wilderness without compromising comfort. The pace is unhurried, leaving room to absorb the landscape and the stillness it offers.

We are here to help
The tour leader collects a set amount from each member of a tour. This kitty is then used to tip the local tour guide and city guides, bus drivers, any other assistants, and restaurant staff. We believe in tipping for good service as a token of appreciation, especially as many workers in tourism rely on tips to supplement their income.
Although we cannot apply on your behalf, we are more than willing to give guidance and assistance with completing forms. We do this for many clients on a near-daily basis. It does, however, remain the responsibility of the client to ensure that they get the correct visa on time.
Remember that we limit the number of guests on our tours. This means more time at stops and sites. We definitely do not do groups of 30 pax, where guests are rushed from one site to the other. There is enough time to explore on your own.
We always suggest USD/Euro 50 to USD/Euro 100 per person per day. As we mostly include two meals per day on our tours, this will be enough for lunch/dinner, some snacks, and memento shopping. Should you want to buy larger items, we suggest taking along your credit card. Remember to advise the bank that you will be travelling.
Once you have completed the form, you will receive an email with the itinerary which includes pricing, inclusions and flight options.
