Diese 11-Tage Safari führt Sie zu den zwei besten
Nationalparks in Sambia - der South Luangwa Nationalpark
und der Lower Sambesi Nationalpark. An den legendären
Victoria Fällen endet Ihre klassische Safari
Hochwertige Unterkünfte bieten Ihnen luxuriöse
Annehmlichkeiten, 5 Nächte im South Luangwa mit den
Nkawali und Nsefu Camps, 3 Nächte im Chongwe River Camp
im Lower Zambesi und 2 Nächte in der Tongabezi Lodge in
Livingstone.
The
Luangwa Valley,
which marks the end of the Great Rift Valley, is one of
the last unspoiled wilderness areas and possibly the
finest wildlife sanctuary in Africa. The Luangwa River
flows into the Zambezi River - just below the
Lower Zambezi
National Park. This park, scenically bordered
by an impressive escarpment, has excellent game, which
can be viewed from either the river or by land. Quietly
drifting past a huge elephant feeding on the river bank
is a great experience.
Livingstone
is home to one of 7 natural wonders of the world, the
Victoria Falls, and offers many opportunities, both
adrenaline filled and more sedate, to view this amazing
site. There are gameviewing opportunities too, with a
chance to see the white rhino in Mosi-Oa-Tunya National
Park and river trips on the Zambezi River. Combining
these three areas in Zambia offers you an exceptional
safari.
Zambia's Classic Safari
Days 1 and 2 After being met at the
airport your guide will drive you to
Nkwali Camp
through colourful local scenes of villages, agriculture
as well as bush. Nkwali Camp overlooks a wide bend of
the Luangwa River into the South Luangwa National Park
and is ideally situated for the start of your safari.
All rooms have a view of the river and open air
bathrooms. The game in this area is excellent - and
includes many family herds of elephants and the endemic
Thornicroft Giraffe.
A
typical day
at Nkwali has you waking with the dawn to enjoy
breakfast round a camp fire before heading out on your
morning
activity.
A delicious lunch is enjoyed on the bank of the lagoon,
which is frequently visited by our local wildlife. The
afternoon is the quiet part of the day - for siesta or
swim in the pool. In the mid-afternoon you meet up with
your guide before heading out for an evening adventure,
finding a beautiful location to watch the sun go down
with a well earned drink in hand. The opportunity to
discover the nocturnal world by spotlight is a wonderful
treat before heading back to Nkwali for dinner.
Nkwali Camp
Days 3 to 5 After an early breakfast,
a gamedrive through the park and across the river takes
you into the Nsefu Sector, which is recognised as a
phenomenal game viewing area. Nsefu was the first game
camp in Zambia and dates back to the early fifties.
There are six round rondavels with luxurious ensuite
facilities and each room has a clear view of the
sweeping bend of the Luangwa River through large windows
and from the wooden verandahs.
During your stay you have the opportunity to drive or
walk through the ebony groves or, depending on the heat
and time of year, to explore further afield with an all
day picnic drive to the salt pans that will cover
different habitats and is an exceptional day's safari.
There is also the option of visiting the community at
Kawaza Village (link) to experience life in a real
non-tourist village. (Note: option of booking
Tena Tena
for the 3 nights).
NSEFU CAMP
Days 6 to 8 After an early breakfast,
transfer to Mfuwe Airport and onto Lower Zambezi via
Lusaka (about 4 hours door to door, depending on flight
schedules). As you fly into the area, you will see the
wide Zambezi River, dotted with islands. Buffalo and
elephant are usually seen feeding along with the pods of
hippos that rest on the edge of the sandbanks. Chongwe
River Camp is a short 15 min trip (taken in an open
gameviewing vehicle) and looks onto the confluence of
the Chongwe and Zambezi rivers and the mountains of the
escarpment to the north. The chalets are large,
well-appointed Mulati tents under thatch, with a luxury
open-air bathroom on suite. Situated under a canopy of
Albida thorns and surrounded by cool lawns, they command
fabulous views over the Rivers. The bathrooms are an
experience on their own, open air with fittings made
from natural materials found near the lodge
At Chongwe there are various activities to choose
from. Not only on offer are exciting day and night
drives and bush walks, but guests can choose their own
day's itinerary from a selection of canoe trips, river
safaris on safe, stable pontoon boats and catch &
release angling for the infamous tiger fish (seasonal).
CHONGWE RIVER CAMP
Day 9 to 10 After breakfast and
farewells, a drive through the park to the airstrip to
meet the plane taking you to Livingstone via Lusaka (1.5
hours). On arrival you will be met and transferred to
either Tongabezi Lodge or Tongabezi Island Camp (Sindabezi).
Accommodation at Tongabezi Lodge is set in a tranquil
grove of ebony on a sweeping bend of the Zambezi River,
and consists of five tented cottages and four spacious
open-planned stone and thatch houses. Tongabezi Island
Camp is three kilometers down stream from the lodge and
accessed only by either motorised banana boat or canoe.
This unique camp consists of 4 cottages built from local
timber, reed and thatch. Each has a spectacular private
view overlooking the Zambezi. The birdlife is
outstanding and game is often seen around the Island
Camp and Lodge.
There is a wide range of activities on offer at
Tongabezi including fishing, canoe trips on the river
and game drives in the Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park. For
the more adventurous, Livingstone boasts a whole host of
adrenaline filled activities including whitewater
rafting, bungee jumping and microlighting. Or you may
just wish to rest in camp and enjoy the spectacular
scenery and peaceful atmosphere. The day will end with a
relaxed dinner served either in the main dining area or
as a private meal outside of your room.

near the thatched dining room. The chalets are cool and
spacious, overlooking the river. Access to the park is

Nsefu Camp. On a sweeping bend of
the river, 12 kilometers north of Tena Tena, lies Nsefu.
Nsefu was the first game camp in Zambia and dates back
to the early fifties. The Nsefu Sector was recognised
then as a phenomenal area and it still is. We reopened
the camp in 1999, in keeping with the original style,
and so operate the only 2 camps in the Nsefu Sector of
the park.
The view of the river is superb and includes a terraced
area where game grazes during the day. The bar, tucked
in beside a huge extinct termite mound, overlooks a
waterhole that is very productive for game, especially
leopard at night. The original rondavels have been
extended, with a spacious bathroom added. Each room has
a clear view of the river, through large windows and
from the new wooden verandah. The camp lies in the heart
of the undeveloped Nsefu sector and so offers charm and
total comfort in remoteness and seclusion.
