Itinerary Overview

Zambia has so much to offer, especially when it comes to safari. Which is why we've created (what we think is) the perfect safari schedule for unspoilt game viewing. Move across Zambia to three different luxury and unique properties with plenty to indulge in. A tip from us - Africa on foot is not to be missed. 

Accommodation includes: Nkwali Lodge, Tena Tena and Chongwe River Camp
