Tour Plan
Upon arrival in Lusaka, Zambia’s capital, you’ll be met by a Sipolio Africa Safaris representative who will assist with your flight to Mfuwe Airport. Your first destination is the celebrated South Luangwa National Park. A game-viewing transfer leads to your luxury lodge or tented camp along the Luangwa River. After settling in, enjoy your first sunset safari followed by dinner under the stars.
Spend two full days exploring the wildlife-rich terrain of South Luangwa, a haven for big cats and walking safaris. Early morning and evening drives reveal lions, leopards, elephants, hippos, and abundant birdlife. Midday siestas allow time to relax at the lodge pool or observe wildlife from your deck. Optional walking safaris provide a thrilling ground-level perspective of the African bush.
Today, move deeper into the park to an intimate bush camp in a more remote region. The transfer doubles as a game drive, revealing untouched corners of the park. The bush camp offers a rustic-luxury experience, candlelit dinners, and close-to-nature moments. Afternoon and night drives continue your immersion into one of Africa’s best-kept secrets.
Enjoy a day of guided walking safaris—South Luangwa’s signature experience. Track giraffes, buffalo, and smaller creatures while learning about medicinal plants and animal behavior. After a long bush brunch and rest, an evening drive offers a final glimpse of predators as they begin to stir. End the day with stories around the campfire and a starlit sky.
Bid farewell to the Luangwa Valley and fly to Lusaka, where you’ll connect to a flight or light aircraft transfer to Kafue National Park—Zambia’s largest and most diverse conservation area. Arrive at your luxury lodge or tented camp along the Kafue River or Busanga Plains and enjoy a relaxed afternoon with panoramic views of the water and wildlife.
Spend two adventure-filled days on game drives, boat safaris, and walking safaris in Kafue. The park is known for its diversity—cheetahs, lions, leopards, wild dogs, elephants, and large herds of antelope roam its vast landscapes. Boat cruises offer hippo and crocodile sightings, while birdwatchers can enjoy over 500 recorded species. Enjoy sundowners on the water and exclusive bush dinners in a truly wild setting.
Depart Kafue and fly to Livingstone, the gateway to the iconic Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. A warm welcome awaits at your luxury hotel or riverside lodge. Spend your afternoon relaxing along the Zambezi River or opt for a sunset cruise with snacks, cocktails, and sightings of elephants, hippos, and birds as the sky ignites with color.
After breakfast, enjoy a guided tour of Victoria Falls—known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya (The Smoke That Thunders). Walk the rainforest trails, feel the spray on your skin, and marvel at the sheer power of the falls. The rest of the day is yours to enjoy optional activities: helicopter flights, canoeing, bungee jumping, or a cultural village tour. In the evening, dine at the lodge or try one of Livingstone’s charming local restaurants.
Your final full day is free to explore at your own pace. Relax by the pool or embark on a final adventure—such as white-water rafting, a visit to Livingstone Island, or high tea overlooking the gorge. Sipolio Africa Safaris can tailor your activities to suit your style—be it relaxation, adrenaline, or romance. End your safari with a celebratory dinner by the Zambezi.
After breakfast, you'll be transferred to Livingstone Airport for your onward flight. As you leave Zambia, you take with you memories of roaring lions, endless plains, cascading waterfalls, and the warmth of Zambian hospitality—crafted with care by Sipolio Africa Safaris.
