Itinerary

Day 2

Kafue

Day 2 and 3: Kafue National Park We spend the day doing game viewing drives in the Park. Several small rivers cross this area. These leave a number of waterholes in the dry season for the animals to quench their thirst. Wild dogs, which roam large areas of the park, cheetah and lion are among the inhabitants here. Camping on the banks of the Kafue River. (2x FB)

Day 4

Kafue

Day 4, 5 and 6: Liuwa Plains National Park: There are few roads in Liuwa Plain National Park. That, however, is 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, islands of raffia palms or a small tree-belt interrupting the scenery. End of October thousands of wildebeest will gather in the plains. Camping in the bush (running water, showers and flush toilets are present). (3x FB)

Day 7

Day 7: Ngonye Waterfalls We follow 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 to explore this beautiful landscape. Camping near the river. (FB)

Kafue

Day 8: Livingstone: Drive along the Zambezi River to Livingstone. Drop off at your accommodation in town. We can arrange activities (white water rafting, canoeing, helicopter flight etc) and book a lodge for you. (B/-/-)
