The journey
Escape the city and dive into Zambia’s wild side on this 3-day Lower Zambezi safari from Lusaka. Travel through the scenic Zambezi Valley to your lodge or camp, then unwind with a relaxed river cruise—ideal for spotting wildlife and birds along the water’s edge, capped off with sunset views.
Spend a full day exploring the park on guided game drives in an open 4x4, searching for elephants, buffalo, big cats, hippos, antelopes, and more. After a final breakfast, return to Lusaka with unforgettable sightings and classic Zambezi landscapes fresh in mind.
