Introduction
This Robin Pope safari covers two of Zambia’s premier national parks plus the spectacular Victoria Falls.
The Luangwa Valley is one of the last unspoiled wilderness areas and possibly the finest wildlife sanctuary in Africa. The Lower Zambezi National Park is bordered by scenic escarpment and is an excellent home for wildlife that can be viewed from the river or by land.

Days 2 & 3 : South Luangwa
The unspoiled South Luangwa National Park is one of natural jewels in Zambia’s crown, and home to one of the most varied collections of wildlife on the planet. The park is centered around the Luangwa River. Untapped by man, its natural ebb and flow of flooding makes much of the park inaccessible by road which keeps it a sanctuary for the large concentration of game that live there. A paradise for birders, over 450 species are to be found in the park, and the wildlife includes elephant, buffalo, hippo, giraffe, leopard and lion. These days are filled with included activities at your own pace including morning and evening game drives, walking, a Kawaza Village visit and more.

Days 5 & 6 : Lower Zambezi
The Lower Zambezi, a key national park of Zambia, lies between the rugged and dramatic Zambezi escarpment and the wide and spectacular Zambezi River. The Zambezi runs for 120 km through the park and with the protection of the Mana Pools National Park in Zimbabwe on the opposite side this is a haven for wildlife. There are many channels, lagoons, sandbanks and islands along the river and then open plains, woodland and bush areas behind the riverine strip. You have two full days to enjoy the mighty Zambezi River experience. Lower Zambezi is great for water based activities that include canoeing, boating and fishing with game drives and walking as a bonus, for you to choose from.
