Zambezi

Day 3 – Zambia into Zimbabwe : Chitake Springs With an early start we will depart our campsite and drive for 3 hours to the small town of Chirundu where we will fuel up & purchase groceries. Crossing the Zambezi River into Zimbabwe there is a half days drive to our next campsite at Chitake Springs. There is a fair bit of formality involved with entering the park and once in the park we will drive down to the first, and probably most exciting, campsite of this tour. Its possible there will be delays so we may only arrive in the late afternoon – this is Africa! Sit back and relax. Once we arrive at our campsite for the night we will have dinner & ensure we are within the confines of the camp when the light finally fades into a stygian blackness. (BLD)

Zambezi

Day 7, 8, 9 and 10 – Nyamepi #20 After a relaxed breakfast on the banks of the river we will pack all out kit, break camp and head North for our next campsite for the following four days. We will be camping on the banks of the Zambezi River looking into Zambia. This campsite and area is very well known for spectacular sceneries and an abundance of wildlife. Once again, the campsites are not fenced so vigilance is necessary at all times – the animals rule here, it’s their domain. Game drives will also be done extensively to explore more of the park on all the days we are in the park. Our Camp Manager will stay at the campsite for security (baboons!). Early mornings are always good for the lighting and photography, so some early mornings are on the agenda. (BLD)

Mana Pools | Zambezi

Day 15 Mana Pools to Lusaka After a leisurely start to the day we will break camp and exit the park. We will cross the border back into Zambia at the same point & continue on to Lusaka city.
