Introduction

Explore the pristine wilderness of South Luangwa and the Lower Zambezi - 2 of Zambia's premier National Parks and, in Emerald Season, the location of some of Africa's finest birdwatching. Benefit from exceptional value adds included in this itinerary, including 'Stay 6 Nights - Pay 5' at Bushcamp Company's luxury Kapamba and Zungulila lodges, and 'Stay 4 - Pay 3' and Royal Zambezi. All international and domestic flying is included, along with transfers, Full Board, all drinks, laundry, and a plethora of different wildlife and birding activities with professional guides and wildlife experts.  

South Luangwa, home to the Walking Safari, is both a game and bird enthusiasts' paradise, with an impressive list of migratory birds visiting during Emerald Season, including Spotted Eagles, Abdim's Stork, Honey Buzzard, Red Footed Falcon, Sand Plover, and hundreds of other migratory and non-migratory species. Of course, other wildlife is in equal abundance, from Wild Dog, Hyena,  Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Hippo, and countless other species that roam freely and call this vast area their home. Explore this phenomenal wildlife heaven in a land vehicle, on foot and on water. 

The Lower Zambezi National Park is a premier spot for bird enthusiasts, boasting a recorded 350+ bird species. The park is especially vibrant with a wide array of resident and migratory waders that frequent the riverbanks and sandbanks. Raptors are also a significant presence, with over 50 species documented. The majestic Verreaux's eagle can be seen soaring above the escarpment cliffs, its preferred dwelling. For those hoping to glimpse one of Africa's most elusive birds, the African pitta breeds here and is most likely to be spotted during the Emerald Season. 

Enjoy the spectacular variety and abundance of birdlife that Zambia has to offer in the comfort of some of the most luxurious lodges, with expert guides and masses of wildlife spotting potential.
