Safari Itinerary

Day 1: South Luangwa

Lusaka to Mfuwe we fly heading to the South Luangwa National Park.
On the drive to Nkwali Camp, we pass through local villages, agriculture as well as wild African bush.
Nkwali Camp is our home for the next four days.
After checking in, lunch or high tea awaits.
An introductory afternoon game drive into the South Luangwa National Park is what we have been waiting for.
Overnight: Nkwali Camp

Days 2-4: South Luangwa

The next few days are in general spent game viewing, either by vehicle or by legendary bush walking safaris.
Breakfasts, mid morning and afternoon teas, coffees and cakes, lunches and dinners are par for the course.
Each day we enter the National park from our private concession via either the nearby pontoon or by boat over the Luangwa River.
The game in the area is excellent - and includes many family herds of elephants and the endemic species of giraffe, the Thornicroft Giraffe.
We at Uyaphi.com can highly recommend morning bush walks, the terrain is flat, the guides are brilliant and the wildlife abounds around every corner.
Game drives are recommended in the late afternoons and early evenings, as one gets to move greater distances to see the Big cats.
Overnight: Nkwali Camp

We leave the South Luangwa and fly direction Lower Zambezi (South).
Chongwe River Camp is our home for the next three days, located on the confluence of the Chongwe and Zambezi rivers.
