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.

Zambia in a Week

Lufupa Tented Camp

Lufupa Tented Camp is, without doubt, an intimate, personal camp that simply comprises of nine en-suite Meru-style tented units each with a wooden deck on which to contemplate the wide river view and the surrounding wildlife. Located in one of the more remote locations in Africa.

Kalamu Lagoon Camp

Positioned on a beautiful permanent lagoon just off the Luangwa River in the remote area of the South Luangwa National Park, imparting a feeling of remoteness and exclusivity. The Luamfwa Concession is located in the wild and uncrowded (with people that is!) southern sector of the Park.

Royal Livingstone Hotel

The Royal Livingstone Hotel, stretching along the banks of the Zambezi River, consists of a series of 17 colonial-style buildings with deep verandas, set amidst indigenous trees and plants is only a few steps from the mighty Zambezi.

Kapinga Camp

Kapinga Camp is situated in the extreme north of the Kafue National Park, and in the north-west corner of the Busanga Plains. The camp has been designed to blend in with the environment and natural products have been used as much as possible in the construction of the camp.

Kakuli Bush Camp

Kakuli Bush Camp is one of the few Zambian and Luangwa bush camps to open in February and March. At this time of year, the river is high, we gain access by boat and activities are either on the river or on foot in the drier, sandy areas that surround the camp, spectacular wildlife.

Shumba Camp

Shumba Camp is situated in the northern region of the Kafue National Park, in the famed Busanga Plains area. The Plains, covering approximately 750 square kilometers, is considered one of Zambia's most important wetlands as well as a wildlife paradise with a wealth of plains game, predators and birds.

Luwi Bush Camp

Due to its remote location, there are not many roads in the area so activities are centered on walking safaris. This fact makes Luwi Bush Camp one of the most enthralling camps in Zambia. The wildlife in the area is prolific and to track it each day on foot is a memory that will last a lifetime.
