TIER 3 - SHOWCASING ZAMBIA & VICTORIA FALLS SAFARI

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 Kasaka River Lodge. The lodge is situated in a natural bush environment with each chalet secluded among the native flora. Kasaka has a 'tame side' with beautiful manicured gardens and colorful indigenous plants and a 'wild side' for the more adventurous, which is connected to the main lodge by overhead walkways to allow for the passage of wildlife within the 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 Kafunta River Lodge for your 3 nights Luangwa safari experience. The lodge is set in the riverside forest on the banks of the Luangwa River overlooking the South Luangwa National Park. From the comfort of the lodge, guests may view some of Africa's majestic wildlife as animals come down to drink. Elephant, hippopotamus, many antelope species and crocodiles are plentiful in this area. Depending on whether it is the emerald or dry season, the Luangwa river's water table level either saturates or seeps into the ground prodding the resident species near the accommodation to either have a 'field day' (no pun intended) with readily available food or work harder (work harder!!), as humorously announced by the calls of the turtle dove bird. Combine this with the startling 3 whistles of the Puku antelope, marking its territory, fending off the males and announcing his availability to interested females. Just then you resign to the calls for an afternoon tea where appetizing snacks, beverages are served before your departure for a mid-afternoon game drive with the opportunity to view superb concentrations of game whether its cats, antelopes, pachyderms. After your mid afternoon-night game drives, meals are served and later comforted by the camp fire. Spend the days and nights experiencing the ecology, wildlife as well as time at the lodge's lagoon & Luangwa River.

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 Avani Victoria Falls Resort for two nights. The hotel located at the Victoria Falls Livingstone in Zambia, features adobe-style architecture. Simple finishes highlight bright mosaics and fabrics and the intoxicating environment is characterized by ethnic wall stencils, timber and plaster ceilings, Zambian artworks and accessories. Avani Victoria Falls Resort is constructed in a series of eight buildings, consisting of the guest rooms, a central pavilion of restaurants and a fabulous convention center. 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.
