9 Days South Luangwa, Lower Zambezi, & Victoria Falls Safari
This safari takes you to the far southern reaches of South Luangwa National Park, deep into wilderness that combines excellent wildlife viewing with a sense of solitude few places can match. You begin with exploration from Sungani Lodge, set beside a lagoon and rich river habitat, before moving to Kulandila Camp, a smaller riverside outpost offering intimate encounters with animals and guided walks or drives in open bush. Kulandila’s location along the Luangwa River places you in the heart of classic valley landscapes, where elephants, hippos, lion, leopard and plains game are regularly seen close to camp.
From South Luangwa the itinerary moves to Livingstone for river and wildlife activities on the Zambezi, including Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park drives, a Victoria Falls tour, and a sunset cruise on the Zambezi River, a contrasting experience of water, wildlife and natural spectacle that complements the bush time.
