Lions Tour 2021 - 5 nights Zambia Getaway

Share:

Days 1 - 3: Lower Zambezi

Connect from Johannesburg OR Tambo Airport to Lusaka Airport where you will be assisted to connect to the flight to the Lower Zambezi Valley. On arrival at Royal Airstrip you will be met by your ranger team and transferred to Chongwe Camp, just 20 minutes away,  which blends  effortlessly with its idyllic surroundings, resting peacefully on the banks of the Zambezi River under a grove of mahogany and acacia trees.. Elephant, lion, leopard, hippo and much more, occupy this gorgeous region of Zambia.

Here no two days are the same and the diverse activities offered include:

Walking Safaris:

An armed ranger and qualified and experienced pro guide will guide you through the wilderness on foot, interpreting spoor, identifying the various flora and fauna, and highlighting conservation issues. However elephants and buffalo are seen on most walks and sometimes the big cats, so expect anything at anytime.

Game drives:

Once the sun has set, night drives commence. Using filtered spotlights, which do not interfere with the well being and behaviour of the subject and which make it much easier on your eyes too, this is an opportunity to see nocturnal creatures such as civet, porcupine, genet, and also to see some of the larger predators on the move.

Canoeing:

Tranquil yet exciting, these trips can be longer and may drift through the likes of the Waterbuck Island and Chifungulu Channels, an excellent way to enjoy another aspect of the Zambezi River.

Angling:

Lower Zambezi is internationally acclaimed as one of the world’s leading fishing destinations. Recommended by authoritative anglers and in publications such as The Best Fly Fishing Trips Money Can Buy and Forbes Traveler, expert guides are on hand to assist you in finding the notorious tigerfish (camp record 10.1kg, average 2kg) which are caught on fly or conventional tackle.

Included

All meals, beverages, house wines, local spirits and laundry.

Professionally guided safaris activities: game drives (day and night), bush walks, boat trips, angling, and canoe trips

Days 4 - 5: South Luangwa National Park

Check-out and head downstream on a motor boat, before docking and boarding your 4x4 for the short road transfer to Jeki Airstrip. From Jeki fly direct to Mfuwe Airport. Meet your local representatives who will transfer you direct to  to Chinzombo Camp.

This wildly luxurious camp is the perfect place to end your Zambian safari experience. Chinzombo retains its bush feel with grass and canvas walls and spacious living areas that melt into exquisite, tranquil surroundings. Gigantic, ancient shade trees offer peace and serenity for guests staying in any one of the six stunning villas. This truly special place offers riverside views teeming with wildlife and direct access into one of the most game rich areas of the National Park.
