Below are two suggested options for a Zambia safari

Walking in the South Luangwa:

fly from London to Lusaka via Johannesburg
transfer to Mfuwe
2 nights at Nkwali Camp
5 nights on walking safari
2 nights at Tena Tena
fly from Lusaka to London via Johannesburg

If the thought of sleeping under an endless sky or the smell of the African bush in the early morning appeals to you, then you should go to the South Luangwa. Into the valley where man has not yet staked his claim and time is eternal, that is where you will find peace and tranquillity. Occasionally a rush of adrenaline will remind you that you are mortal and that you should savour the opportunity of being very close to nature, perhaps so close that you can hear her breathing. Walking gives you the opportunity to feel her heart beat and your highly skilled guide will interpret its' rhythm. At the end of the day however you will have the luxury of warm water and the time for a slow gin to reflect on the day and watch it slip into a dark symphony beyond a splintering fire.

Cost: From £3,630 per person sharing

Unusual Zambia:

fly from London to Lusaka via Johannesburg
transfer to Kafuwe Park
3 nights Busanga Bush Camp
fly to South Luangwa National Park
3 nights at Tafika
3 nights at Kapani
fly to the Lower Zambezi National Park
3 nights at Sausage Tree Camp
return to Lusaka and fly to London

If the concept of an African Safari is not new to you, you may want to venture a little more off the beaten track in Zambia. This very hospitable and yet untamed country boasts some fine camps that will offer you real Africa on a platter with a homely atmosphere and pioneering spirit. A little more refined is the Sausage Tree Camp on an island in the Zambezi where the bohemian style tents bring Africa into your living space. Where you can watch the sunset with a long drink and listen to the cry of the Fish eagle.

Cost from: £5,170 Per person sharing
