TUESDAY:
Morning and afternoon safari activities, from game drives, bush walks, motorized boat trips, and canoe-guided excursions.
When darkness falls, another world comes to life in the bush. Cats head out to hunt, hyenas emerge with empty stomachs, and civets and genets scurry about. This is what makes night drives so special: the chance to see what happens after dark in true wilderness. These drives are kept short - night is also a time to allow nature to take its course unbothered, but you will have the opportunity to see some exceptional moments under the stars on your way back to camp. A night drive is a definite experience you can elect to partake of.
All meals and lodge activities are included.

WEDNESDAY:
The Lower Zambezi is known for its leopard, and we will spend this final day tracking leopard, as well as giving guests the option to explore some of the projects we support, via a "Chesed " approach to giving back, both in terms of conservation/ anti poaching or tribal villages and communities that gain access to the supply chain via "Kibbutz" style community food gardens, and water projects in the valley. Its a wonderful way to end your time in Africa, and see first hand, how your trip, is making a difference in the ongoing preservation of some of the most unspoilt and beautiful places on our planet.
