Two River Safaris
“This safari combines spectacular wildlife and diverse habitats of two major Zambian Rivers – the Luangwa and the Zambezi. You’ll stay at the most exclusive owner-operated camps in Zambia and have the chance to go on walking and driving safaris in two magnificent National Parks.”
Day 1
Arrival South Luangwa National Park
You’ll fly into Mfuwe, the gateway to South Luangwa.
From here you’ll be met by a representative and privately escorted to Luwi Bush Camp, stopping to look at game on the way.
After checking in you’ll enjoy lunch and then set out on foot to explore the local area. Spend time at the nearby crocodile and hippo filled lagoon, watching from the hide.
Day 2
Riverside picnic
Today you’ll wake early and leave the camp before the sun rises, taking a picnic breakfast and lunch with you as you head upstream into really wild country.
