Itinerary

Itinerary Days 1-14

Day 1: Lusaka
Pick-up from the airport in Lusaka and transfer to Wilddog Lodge or Pioneer Camp. Overnight in Chalets, dinner in the restaurant. (-/-/-)

Day 2: Transfer to Mkushi
We do some shopping in Lusaka before we start the tour. On the ‘Great North Road’ we travel to Mkushi, where we spend the night at Loza Lodge or Fika Lodge. Dinner in the restaurant (B/L/-).

Days 3 and 4: Kasanka National Park
Early in the morning we carry further on to the Kasanka National Park. En route we will make a detour to Kundalila Falls to do a short hike to the falls, where we can also take a refreshing swim.

Towards the end of October and in November millions of straw-coloured fruit bats arrive from the Congo. This is known as the world’s biggest migration if mammals - a sight not to be missed! With some luck we will be able to observe the rare and shy Sitatunga Antelope (among other animals). The bird life is amazing as well at this time of the year. We will do a guided walk with a ranger and watch the bats from a hide. Camping inside the National Park. (2 x FB)

Day 5: Chisamba
We leave the wilderness and drive back to Chisamba. Overnight at Protea Safari Lodge. Dinner in a restaurant (own expense) (B/L/-).

Days 6 and 7: Chunga (central Kafue National Park)
We carry on and drive via Lusaka to the central area of Kafue National Park. Several small rivers cross this area. These leave a few waterholes in the dry season for the animals to quench their thirst. Wild dogs, which roam large areas of the park, cheetah and lion are among the inhabitants here. The birdlife is prolific. Camping on the banks of the Kafue River at Mayukuyuku Camp or Kasabushi Camp (2x FB)

Day 8: Mongu
On the way to the West, we will arrive in Mongu, our stop over at the edge of the Barotse floodplains. Here we have the possibility to stock up for the next few days in Liuwa. Camping on the edge of the Barotse Plains. (FB)

Day 9, 10 and 11: Liuwa Plains National Park:
There are few roads in Liuwa Plain National Park. That, however, is part of the park’s attraction: around 3660km² of untouched Africa. Most of this is a vast honey-coloured plain of grass, with just the occasional water pan, islands of raffia palms or a small tree-belt interrupting the scenery.
Thousands of wildebeest (estimated at close to 50,000), with zebra, tsessebe and buffalo, group together, joining the more static resident roan antelope, red lechwe and reedbuck. The open plains are particularly good for oribi antelope. With all these come the predators: hyena, wild dog and lion can be spotted. Beginning of November, thousands of wildebeest will gather in the plains.
Camping in the bush (running water, showers and flush toilets are present). (3x FB)

Day 12: Ngonye Waterfalls
We follow the course of the Zambezi River up to the beautiful Ngonye Falls, not as mighty as the “big brother further south, but equally impressive. The Zambezi spreads into several channels and the masses of water find their way through the basalt rock formations. We will hike around this area. 
Camping near the river. (FB)

Day 13: Livingstone:
Drive along the Zambezi River to Livingstone. Whether adventure or relaxation: there are a lot of activities on offer in Livingstone.

Day 14: Departure
Transfer to Livingstone Airport and departure (B/-/-).
