Day 06        South Luangwa ~ Lower Zambezi

Today you drive to Mfuwe to fly via Lusaka to Royal Airstrip and then by vehicle onto Chongwe River Camp, idyllically set on the confluence of the Chongwe and Zambezi Rivers. You will have a 3 night stay here fully accommodated in spacious, open-fronted suites with private views across the Zambezi. 
Accommodation:       Chongwe River Camp

Day 07 & 08        Lower Zambezi

Accommodation:       Chongwe River Camp

Day 09        Lower Zambezi ~ Victoria Falls

You leave today by road to Royal Airstrip and then on to Livingstone via Lusaka.   At Livingstone you will be met and driven to Tongabezi.   You will spend 2 fully inclusive nights in your accommodation elevated above the river, and whether in bed, in the bath or just lounging around the room your views of the Zambezi are breathtaking.
Accommodation:       Tongabezi Lodge

Day 10       Victoria Falls

Your time in the Livingstone area will give you a great opportunity to experience all there is to do; an up-close view of the Falls is a must, perhaps take a “Flight of the Angels” which will take you by microlight or helicopter high above the ground.   There are also a host of adrenalin activities on offer but do save time to enjoy the tranquility and the other activities around camp.
Accommodation:       Tongabezi Lodge

Day 11       Day of Departure

You leave this magnificent part of Africa behind as you fly out from Livingstone today on to the next stage of your safari.
