Day notes
On your arrival at Lusaka Airport, a representative from Busanga Safaris will greet you and assist you in catching your connecting flight to Mfuwe International Airport. Once you land in Mfuwe, a guide from Robin Pope Safaris will be there to welcome you.
Your journey to Nkwali Camp, which will take approximately one hour, will be a vibrant showcase of local life, passing through various villages, agricultural landscapes, and finnaly untouched bush. Nkwali Camp, located on Robin Pope's private property and overlooking the South Luangwa National Park, offers an expansive view of the Luangwa River and is perfectly situated as the starting point for your safari adventure.
Depending on your arrival time, you may enjoy lunch near the lagoon behind Nkwali. If you arrive later in the afternoon, you will be welcomed with tea, followed by an afternoon and night game drive to get your safari adventure started.

Expert tips:
Guests often arrive a day earlier and spend a relaxing afternoon and evening, a good night's sleep to get over the journey before setting off on safari the next day.

Day notes
After an early breakfast, you will head north to start your walking mobile, known as THE wilderness experience of South Luangwa. Your drive is some 90 km to the Mupamadzi River along a bush road through remote parts of the park. You arrive at camp for lunch around mid-day. The camp is already set up for your arrival with well-equipped walk-in tents. The shower is under a tree, and the toilet is a long drop with a wooden throne. Enjoy a relaxing siesta after lunch, before tea and go for a walk around camp in the afternoon, to return for sundowners and dinner in the open under the stars!

Day notes
Up at sunrise for the morning walk. The area is remote and wild, the terrain and habitats varied, and the game shy and unused to man. From ants to buffalo, a bird’s nest to tracking a lion, you will learn the many facets of the bush. The mobile camp will be packed and moved to Camp 2, and lunch will be ready as the guests arrive late morning: lunch, siesta and afternoon walk.
Day notes
Day 4 - Explore the area on foot – returning to the same campsite.
Day notes
The camp will be moved again to camp three during the morning as you walk further down the river. The Mupamadzi River is a major tributary of the Luangwa. All walks are led by an experienced naturalist and accompanied by an armed game scout.
Day notes
A full day at camp 3 to explore with your guide.
Day notes
After breakfast, transfer to the Luangwa River crossing point opposite Tena Tena. This is a 4 to 5-hour drive. Tena Tena staff will meet and boat the party across the river, then a 20-minute drive to Tena Tena camp. This remote and small camp lies within the National Park and enjoys a stunning location on a sweeping bend of the Luangwa River. A grove of mahogany trees shades the large custom-made tents. Guests can watch the elephants, hippos and antelope from the thatched dining room and bar on the riverbank. Tena has five tents, each with a dressing room, open-air bathroom and private verandah overlooking a water hole. Most meals are taken under the shade of a huge Mahogany tree in the centre of the camp. On arrival, you will be shown to your tent, and then lunch will be served, followed by a well-deserved siesta before the afternoon and evening game drive. Time to rest those weary legs!!
