Day 01        Arrive South Luangwa

You will be met on arrival at Lusaka Airport and assisted onto your flight to Mfuwe Airport, where you will be met on arrival and taken on a game drive to your first lodge of your adventure.  You will have time to relax until tea, followed by an afternoon game drive, sundowners, and a night drive. 
Accommodation:         Chinzombo
Day 02        South Luangwa
You will again be able to enjoy all the activities offered at your lodge, including game drives at different times of the day.   In between activities you will be well taken care of with breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as teas and sundowners.   You may also find time to relax in your private accommodation or at the pool or the other lodge communal facilities. 
Accommodation:         Chinzombo
Day 03        South Luangwa
After 2 nights at Chinzombo or Kapani you will be driven deep into the National Park to Luwi Bushcamp.   It is wild and remote; but rest assured, there is no compromise on making sure you are comfortable!
Accommodation:         Luwi Bush Camp
Day 04        South Luangwa
You will enjoy a light breakfast around the camp fire and then will head out together with the guide and armed scout.   This is no nature trail - this is the real thing - you are tracking big game through the African bush, on foot like the first Luangwa pioneers.
Accommodation:         Luwi Bush Camp
Day 05        South Luangwa
Today your guide will walk you down the meandering Luwi river course.  Your destination is Nsolo, the second of your bushcamps.   After a few hours gentle walking and exploration you’ll arrive into camp to find a warm welcome, a cool drink, brunch on the table and your bags in your room.   The remainder of the day will be spent exploring the area.
Accommodation:         Nsolo Bush Camp
Day 06        South Luangwa
The day will be spent on foot or in an open safari vehicle further exploring the wilds of the Nsolo area.   You will enjoy the personal attention of your guide who will point out and describe to you the distinctive features of the landscape and the wildlife.
Accommodation:         Nsolo Bush Camp
Day 07        South Luangwa
The next move, on foot or by 4x4 game viewer if you prefer, takes you to Kakuli Camp further down the Luwi River.   As there are more tracks in this area it is possible to use vehicles for exploration and game viewing for the remainder of the day.
Accommodation:        Kakuli Bush Camp
Day 08        South Luangwa
The area is well known for its high population of leopards and a highlight of the day will be searching for the elusive animal on foot, or in a vehicle if the range to be covered is too large. There will of course also be time for rest and relaxation and to simply enjoy the beauty of the surroundings.
Accommodation:        Kakuli Bush Camp
Day 09        South Luangwa
A taste of sophistication awaits you at Mchenja, the last camp on the trail, set under the shade of immense ebony trees.  You will be able to do both game walks and drives and the wildlife viewing in this area is some of the best in the Park.
Accommodation:        Mchenja Camp
Day 10        South Luangwa
The last day of the adventure will be spent exploring the remainder of the area and enjoying for one last time the hospitality of the guides either in game viewing vehicles or on foot. 
Accommodation:        Mchenja Camp
Day 11        Day of Departure
Transfer to Mfuwe Airport for your flight out of the Luangwa Valley.

This safari is easily combined with the iconic Victoria Falls or Cape Town, or alternatively think about adding on a beach break with a difference, at Kaya Mawa.
