Day 3: Mabula Farm
After a hearty breakfast, we load up our converted safari vehicle and set off. In Chibule, we make a brief stop to experience everyday life in an African village. The final 25 kilometers we cover by bike, riding through rural landscapes until we reach our private campsite on a game farm.
As the sun sinks toward the horizon, we embark on a sundowner tour to a nearby dam. There we hope to spot kudu, impala, eland, and other wildlife gathering at the water’s edge. The day draws to a close with camping in spacious dome tents nestled in the Miombo forest. (B/L/D)

Day 4: Kafue National Park - Nanzhila Area
With our loaded Land Rover, we drive to Dumdumwenze, the southern entrance of the park. On the way to our camp, we have the chance to cover part of the route by bike. The trail leads across bush tracks, ox‑cart paths, and narrow footpaths that cut through the landscape like fine lines.
In the afternoon, we set off in our specially converted safari Land Rover for a sundowner game drive, exploring the lagoons and floodplains that shape this impressive scenery. 
The day concludes with camping at Hornbill Lodge, located within the Kafue National Park. (B/L/D)

Day 5: Ithezi Thezi Dam (Kafue National Park)
A morning safari in the nearby Nanzhila Plains promises exciting wildlife sightings in the fresh early hours. After the game drive, a hearty brunch awaits us before we continue northward. Around midday we reach Chibila Camp, where our campsite offers sweeping panoramic views over the shimmering lake. Later, we explore the shores of the dam. Here we may once again encounter the big cats, while elephants, various antelope species, and a diverse birdlife enrich the scene. (B/L/D)

Days 6 and 7: Kaingu Chiefs Campsite (Kafue National Park)
The last few kilometers we cover by bicycle, immersing ourselves in the pristine Miombo woodland. 
On a granite hill we enjoy our sundowner: the light refracts across the rocks, and the landscape opens wide and endless.
A boat ride takes us along the Kafue River. Towering granite formations, sculpted into bizarre shapes by time, line the way. Walks, game drives, and boat excursions let us experience the wilderness in all its facets. 
We spend two nights at a private campsite directly on the river – a place where nature and silence set the rhythm. (B/L/D)

Day 8: Lusaka (Lilayi Private Reserve) 
We set off early in the Land Rover and drive to Lilayi Lodge, located south of Lusaka. On the way, we pause for an early lunch (at own expense) at the Olive Grove Restaurant. The afternoon is dedicated to preparations: we stock up on supplies for the coming days and take a leisurely walk through the farm grounds to enjoy the natural surroundings (and possible sightings of Giraffe, various antelopes, and a prolific bird life).
As evening falls, we check into Lilayi Lodge – a luxurious retreat nestled within its own private wildlife reserve on the outskirts of Lusaka.

Day 9: Lower Zambezi National Park
In the morning, we set off from Lilayi Lodge on our mountain bikes. The route first takes us through rural countryside, passing small homesteads and fields, before we reach an impressive mountain landscape further south. Riding through this wild scenery rewards us with spectacular views until we finally arrive at the Kafue Gorge Dam, where our Land Rover is already waiting. In the evening, we unwind at the cozy Kasaka River Lodge or Lower Zambezi River Lodge. Situated directly on the mighty Zambezi, the lodge offers not only comfort but also the unique atmosphere of a river that is one of Africa’s great lifelines.(B/L/D) 

Day 10: Lower Zambezi National Park
We set off on a long game drive through this wildlife-rich and spectacular landscape. Along the way, we pause for a picnic on the banks of the Zambezi, where elephants sometimes join us. On the small side channels of the river, life is bustling—birds, antelopes, and other animals animate the waters and the shores.
In the late afternoon, we take a boat trip to enjoy the sunset. Before us stretches the wilderness of the Zambezi Valley, glowing golden in the day’s last light.

Lake Kariba, the largest reservoir in the world by volume unfolds its majestic expanse before us.From Siavonga, our journey begins aboard a lavish houseboat that gently carries us across the shimmering waters. We spend the night in comfortable cabins near Lotri Bay. A boat excursion takes us to hidden coves and breathtaking viewpoints.
