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.

Highlights of Zambia

Zambia in a Week

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.

Busanga Bush Camp

A Kafue bush camp the lies in the heart of the Busanga Plains, a wildlife paradise that is situated in Kafue National Park. Busanga is about as 'wild' as you can get in today's world: an unfenced mosaic of expansive grassy seasonal floodplains and "dambos".

Mchenja Camp

As a luxury bush camp, Mchenja is the perfect destination to complete a walking safari that has combined camps. Alternatively, those guests seeking a little more comfort and pampering may choose to combine a longer stay here, with a number of nights at the main lodge.

Lufupa River Camp

Lufupa River Camp is situated at the confluence of the Lufupa and Kafue Rivers, this site offers access to productive game viewing areas in the dambos (open grassy clearings) and woodlands of the northern Kafue. The area is renowned for its leopard viewing as well as elephant and lion sightings.

Nsolo Camp

Nsolo Camp is one of the more historic camps in Zambia. It was cited by Norman Carr in 1987 and Shaddy, the Camp Manager and guide has been studying the wildlife and conducting walking safaris from this camp for over 10 years. One of the more remote camps in the Luangwa.

Chiawa Camp

Chiawa Camp is a must for any visit to Zambia with superb accommodation, magnificent game viewing and scenery, and a large variety of activities are complemented by renowned guiding. A stunning thatched lounge area with upstairs viewing deck provides one of the best views of the Zambezi.
