Today we drive to Mazabuka, the ‘sweetest town’ in Zambia, where sugar cane is grown on big farms. We stay overnight on a game farm, where also the highly endangered White Rhinos roam freely. In the afternoon we can do a short drive and hopefully we will see one of those ancient looking creatures.

We carry on to Lake Kariba, where we board our home for the next day: the comfortable House Boat ‘Galloping Waters’. Time to relax and enjoy the scenery and serenity of the lake. (FB)

A visit of the Lower Zambezi Park is one of the highlights in Zambia.

The Zambezi River on the one side and the Escarpment on the other form the backdrop of our game viewing. We will do game drives in the National Park and along the river to watch the animals coming to drink.   

We stay overnight in Chalets at Kasaka Lodge or Lowwer Zambezi Lodge (3x FB)
