Big 5 Park Exploration

Victoria Falls | Zambezi

Day 2 – Kabula We depart Livingstone heading West skirting the border with Botswana and Namibia before turning North, we pass local villages and experience the true heart of this magical country and her friendly people. Visiting the beautiful Ngonye Falls this afternoon for a well deserved swim in one of the pools before we make for our evening camp. Ngonye Falls were discovered by David Livingstone before he set eyes on the larger Victoria Falls. Our  overnight stop is set on the banks of the Zambezi River, this is an idyllic site to rest after the day’s drive. (BLD)

Kafue

Day 4 and 5 – Mayukuyuku Entering Kafue from the West we will begin some earnest game driving as we make our way slowly Eastwards over Hook Bridge & the Kafue River. Game viewing is said to be extremely good in this area & Peter Moyo will tell us where we need to be looking. He has been working in Kafue since 1992 & has an intimate knowledge of game movements. Our fifth day will be an early departure with packed breakfast & lunch as we are going to explore Northwards as far as possible into the Busanga area of the Kafue. The Busanga plains are famous for big cats & excellent wildlife sightings. We will stop for a short coffee break as well as lunch in the shade of some trees with a view of the plains. We will return to Mayukuyuku for our overnight stop. (BLD)

Kafue

Day 8 and 9 – Hippo Bay Departing Kasabushi we continue South and cross the Kafue River again as we round the bottom of the lake area to arrive at Hippo Bay. This central section is wild and very undiscovered with tracks & fire-breaks that we can use to find Sable antelope and some of the other rare species that Kafue is well known for. We will visit the local town to take on fuel, shop for food and spend some time relaxing in a chair on the lake shores. There is a chance to do some fishing, bird watching, a game walk and night drives. (BLD)
