Itinerary
Day 1 Ngonye Falls
Kafue
Pick-up from your hotel/lodge in Livingstone, we drive on along the course of the Zambezi river up to the beautiful Ngonye Falls, not as mighty as the “big brother further south, but equally impressive. The Zambezi spreads into several channels and the masses of water find their way through the basalt rock formations. We will hike around the area and cross the river by boat to an island to get the best view of the falls. Camping near the river. (-/L/D)
Campsite at the banks of the Zambezi RIver
Day 2 Liuwa Plains NP
Via Mongu, where we will stock up for the next days in the bush, we drive via Kalabo to Liuwa Plains National Park and further on to our campsite inside the park Camping in the bush on Katoyana Campsite or similar (FB).

Day 3
There are few roads in Liuwa Plain National Park. That, however, this part of the park’s attraction: around 3660km² of untouched Africa. Most of this is a vast honey-coloured plain of grass, with just the occasional water pan, island of raffia palms or small tree-belt interrupting the scenery. Thousands of wildebeest, with zebra and buffalo, joining the more static resident, red lechwe and reedbuck. Camping inside the National Park (FB). Camping near the river. (FB)

Day 4
Liuwa Plains National Park: The open plains are particularly good for oribi. With all these come the predators: hyena, wild dog and lion can be spotted. Camping in the bush (running water, showers and flush toilets are present). (FB)
