Day 1-2
Kafue River Lodge

We begin this beautiful safari at Kafue River Lodge. Following your arrival by air or road, you shall arrive at Kafue River Lodge, on the banks of the Kafue River.

On the afternoon of arrival, we recommend you embark on a boat cruise, a lovely introduction to the Kafue.

After the cruise, you will return to camp in the early evening, refresh and relax by the fire until dinner is served on the deck overlooking the river.

The following day, you will have a wake up call around 05.00. At 05.30, you will find fresh tea and coffee prepared down at the boma.

You can enjoy a light continental breakfast there whilst warming by the fire. By around 06.00, you will head out for the morning activity. You will return late morning, in time for brunch.

After brunch, you will have a chance to relax for a few hours before meeting for high tea at 15.30, in time for your afternoon / evening activity to start around 16.00.

This is a fairly typical day when on a safari. Some days, we will do special activities or different programs and these tailored according to your wishes and shall be communicated to you on the ground.

Day 3
Kikuji Camp

After Kafue River Lodge, we will head to Kikuji Camp. On this itinerary, we will use Kikuji as a strategic stop over on route to Kasonso.

The region around Kikuji is spectacular. The area is a paradise for specialist activities such as birding, botany, fishing.

Day 4-6
Kasonso Camp

Kasonso is based in the heart of the Busanga Plains. It is a stunning camp, operated by a well oiled team.

The activities here and at the following destinations will run in very similar timings to the description of the activities at KRL. Due to the distances around the Busanga, it is necessary for the activities here to all be driving based.

Day 7-8
Musekese Camp

Following Kasonso, we will head south to Musekese. The routine here shall be similar to the above. We recommend doing a walking safari each morning, and the afternoon activity should be either a boat cruise or a game drive.

Musekese is in a brilliant region, rich with wildlife. Particularly predator sightings are top here.

Day 9-11
Kaingu Camp

After exploring the region around Musekese for a couple of days, we will head further south to Kaingu. Kaingu is based on the Kafue River. It’s a stunning lodge, very well run offering a beautiful bush experience.

On the afternoon of arrival, we will arrange for you to do the walk to Mpamba rock. The following day, you will take a morning drive in the Park and an afternoon boat cruise.

The last region to adventure through is the Southern area. After we leave Kaingu we will transfer through Itezhi tezhi, on route to the Nanzhila Plains.

Nanzhilla is a stunning camp. Game densities are good here, with a marvellous range of mammal species to look for.
