AfricanMecca guests need to arrive at Lusaka International Airport in Zambia. Subject to arrival timing, you may need an overnight in the city.

Showcasing Zambia Safari takes a circuit tour of Zambia experiencing the wildlife and nature of Lower Zambezi National Park & South Luangwa National Park, and concluding the program at the Victoria Falls. Showcasing Zambia Safari displays Zambia’s superb landscapes & landmarks, and helps connect the best destinations in the country under one program. Lower Zambezi National Park is beautiful displaying its tall leadwoods, ebonies, acacias and figs stand on carpets of rich grassland. Wildlife congregates near the river which can be viewed on the specialty canoeing safaris. The South Luangwa National Park is one of Africa's biggest parks with territorial species of wildlife located in distinct/resident areas of the park. The visit to the park enables AfricanMecca clients to explore the beauty of the wilderness, wildlife, ecology, its specialty walking safari, unmatched day and night game viewing as well as the wilderness camp experience. South Luangwa wildlife include huge herds of elephant and buffalo. Of particular interest are the two subspecies unique to the Luangwa Valley: the beautiful thornicroft giraffe (with its dark patterned skin) and Cookson's wildebeest. The valley's main predators are lion, leopard and spotted hyena. During the day, lion seldom hide and are often seen, where as leopards hunt by night. Combine this with an experience of viewing the stunning Victoria Falls in Livingstone, one of Africa's (and world) wonders from an eye level or from above - either in a microlight or helicopter - it can't get any better than that!

LOWER ZAMBEZI NATIONAL PARK

Upon arrival at the Lusaka International Airport, a guest relations’ transfer officer will personally meet all arriving guests. They will be standing outside the arrival section holding a signboard with your name on it. Check in for your flight. Fly out to Lower Zambezi National Park, arriving at Royal Airstrip. You are met on arrival and transferred to Chongwe River Camp. The camp is situated on the confluence of the Chongwe and Zambezi River, directly opposite Mana Pools. Under a complete canopy of huge Winterthorn Acacias, the camp occupies an unrivalled location, used twice by David Livingstone on his travels, as did Frederick Courtney Selous (See Selous Game Reserve In Tanzania), when he hunted in this, his favorite wilderness! Chongwe River Camp is a luxury 'bush camp' situated in a wilderness area; elephant are more numerous than people in the Albida grove. There are no fences and the animals have complete right of way. The Chongwe River is the boundary of the Lower Zambezi National Park, a four thousand square kilometer pristine sanctuary, teeming with game, and said to be one of the continent's most picturesque wilderness areas. A policy of non-intrusive enjoyment of wildlife and low environmental impact has preserved the area and its wildlife.

The Lower Zambezi has become one of southern Africa's premier destinations for peaceful game viewing and unparalleled tiger fish angling. Spend your days spotting wildlife from the camp's river bank or when out on your daily activities. After lunch, spend some time relaxing viewing wildlife as they come around to your camp or on the river bank. The shimmering sun reflecting like gemstones off the river creates unique photographic opportunities which clients may want to take advantage of. Do not be surprised by the elephants that walk by your camp to forage off the vegetation. If it gets a little too hot, you can take a plunge in the pool and cool off. At around mid afternoon, you will gather for high tea and proceed for an afternoon canoeing activity on the river culminating into an evening game drive on the return back. The canoeing activity is an incredibly fun yet relaxed and enjoyable experience with the opportunity to view good concentrations of wildlife and birdlife as they congregate by the river bank to drink. You are led by professional guides and their crew who help you navigate the river while spotting the hippos and crocodile cooling off or basking in the sun. The river water level swoosh and swirls vary depending on the time of the year/season while also coinciding with release of water from the Kariba dam, which ends up being an interesting experience on its own. The wildlife species that can be spotted include the various types of antelopes, elephants, hippos, crocodile, lions, buffalo and incredible amount of birds including fish eagles, herons, storks and the list goes on. The night game drives are reserved for the nocturnal creatures also commonly referred to the small five (as compared to the big 5) along with the superb opportunities to view the big cats hunt. For those preferring an alternative experience, the Lower Zambezi is world famous for its tiger fish and record catches have been made on the river. The fishing policy is tag and release, which works best in preserving the endemic population. Apart from the canoeing on the Zambezi, clients can also take an afternoon game drive on a 4x4 and end with a return to camp in the early evening. Spend the evening at the dinner table discussing your day's adventure with other guests and camp host while planning your activities for the following day.

Activities Included: Day game drives; Canoeing; Night game drives; Fishing; Walking safaris; River boating safari.

Overnight Accommodation: Chongwe River Camp

SOUTH LUANGWA NATIONAL PARK

Check in for your flight. Fly via Lusaka Airport to South Luangwa National Park, arriving at the Mfuwe Airport, the main town at the footsteps of South Luangwa. You are met on arrival and transferred to Kapani Lodge for your 3 nights Luangwa safari experience. Kapani means place of mopane trees. Kapani Lodge is an exclusive, private Norman Carr accommodation situated on the banks of one of the many ox-bow lagoons in the South Luangwa. South Luangwa is host to a wide variety of wildlife, birds and vegetation. Norman Carr Safaris pioneered the now famous "Zambia walking safari", which originated in South Luangwa and this still one of the finest ways to experience this pristine wilderness first-hand. The changing seasons add to South Luangwa's richness ranging from dry, bare bushveld in the southern hemisphere winter months to a lush green wonderland in the summer months. Norman Carr accommodations pride itself of offering a varied range of safari experiences. AfricanMecca's clients will be escorted by a team of Zambia's best safari guides and can choose between a simple, back-to-nature walking safari, journeying from one bush camp to the next; or alternatively set a slower pace with a longer stay at the main lodge, including plenty of game drives, good food and relaxation. Kapani Lodge accommodates just twenty guests and is open throughout the year. A thatched building in the center of the camp houses the lounge and library. It is pleasantly cool in the hot weather and warm and cozy in the cooler months with an open fire. A secluded swimming pool is available at Kapani Lodge.

Activities Included: Day game drives; Night game drives; Walking safaris

VICTORIA FALLS - LIVINGSTONE

An early breakfast is served. Fly to Livingstone International Airport via Lusaka. Upon arrival at the Livingstone International Airport by the Victoria Falls, a transfer officer will personally meet all arriving guests. He will be standing in the main arrival section holding a signboard with your name on it. Thereafter, you will be transferred to David Livingstone Safari Lodge and Spa for two nights.

The Victoria Falls in Livingstone offers an inescapable closeness to the natural elements and it is this true grandeur that lends a backdrop to the regal David Livingstone Safari Lodge and Spa. These great and famous falls, named by Dr. David Livingstone for his queen, Victoria, in November 1855, were well known to the indigenous peoples of Southern Africa by many names. The lodge consists of 77 rooms, all en-suite, of which 5 are suites and 2 rooms accommodate the disabled. Most rooms look out over the mighty Zambezi and a leisurely sun downer can be enjoyed from your private balcony. The local tribes people call Victoria Falls in Livingstone “Mosi-Oa-Tunya”, Bantu for the “Smoke That Thunders”. The spray from the mighty Victoria Falls may be seen like a cloud across the bushveld throwing rainbows hundreds of feet in the air. At your own leisure time you can visit the falls, relax and enjoy the experience. During the warmer periods of the year, after being in the bush for several days, guests can retreat and relax by the pool, while viewing the spray from the falls in the short distance. Don't be caught surprised by the casual trot of the resident zebra population around the hotel grounds. There are several activities that may appeal to our clients, that include helicopter and microlight flights, all professionally piloted, with the opportunity to view the falls from above as well as other alternative activities to add on. [Breakfast meal is included with your overnight stay. Additional meals depending on the activities you undertake, can be purchased at convenient locations]

It was an aggressive itinerary and Raza planned it so well, that the transitions were seamless. The last leg of the trip was Botswana for another Safari and we stayed at the most beautiful lodge. The excitement in seeing the animals so closely is indescribable.
