National Parks Safari

 

Experience the best that Zambia has to offer, from Livingstone, the Zambezi and the mighty Victoria Falls to the amazing scenery and game of Luangwa and Lower Zambezi National Parks. To enhance your adventure we have selected hotels that are close to the major attractions and lodges that offer a unique safari experience.

Mfuwe Lodge, situated in the South Luangwa National Park has 18 luxury en suite thatched chalets, each with a private decking area overlooking a lagoon that attracts abundant wildlife and game from the African bush. Game activity at the lagoon continues day and night as breeding herds come out of the bush to the water to quench their thirst.

Kasaka River Lodge is a 22 bed luxury tented camp nestled on the banks of the Zambezi River and only 4 km by road from the Lower Zambezi National Park. The river extends the length of the property and there are breathtaking views over the water with sightings of buffaloes, elephants, hippos and crocodiles. Activities that are available include, day and night game drives, river safaris, fishing and canoeing.
