Classic Zambia Bushcamps

Arrival into Livingstone introduces a softer entry point into the safari, positioned along the Zambezi River within a relaxed, nature-driven environment that balances accessibility with privacy and comfort.

Chundukwa River Lodge operates as an eco-conscious riverside retreat, designed around open-fronted chalets elevated above the riverbank, delivering uninterrupted views and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape. The property integrates sustainable design principles with understated comfort, creating a calm and flexible pre-safari environment.

Experiences are intentionally unstructured, allowing for a tailored mix of low-impact activities including horse riding, river cruises, bush walks, and cultural interactions. Proximity to Victoria Falls also enables optional access to regional highlights and adventure-based excursions.

Transfers & Flights: Road transfer from Harry Mwaanga Nkumbula International Airport to the lodge. Onward routing connects back to the airport for scheduled flight into Kafue National Park.

The itinerary transitions into Kafue National Park, one of Africa’s largest and least developed safari ecosystems, delivering a significant shift into remote, low-traffic wilderness.

Musekese Camp is positioned along a permanent lagoon system, offering a highly intimate safari environment with direct access to diverse habitats. The camp is deliberately low impact, with limited accommodation units and a strong focus on immersion rather than infrastructure.

The safari experience is guide-driven and highly flexible, incorporating walking safaris, game drives, boating (seasonal), and photographic hide sessions. Wildlife encounters are varied and often exclusive due to minimal vehicle presence, with strong representation of predators, plains game, and birdlife.

A key differentiator is the direct link to Musekese Conservation, ensuring that guest presence contributes to long-term protection and recovery of the surrounding ecosystem.

Transfers & Flights: Scheduled flight from Livingstone into Lufupa Airstrip followed by road transfer into camp.

The journey continues into the Lower Zambezi, introducing a more traditional tented safari setup positioned directly along the Zambezi River, with a focus on simplicity, access, and experiential diversity.

Kutali Camp delivers a classic bushcamp model with spacious tented accommodation overlooking the river, supported by a central open-air main area shaded by Winterthorn trees. The design prioritises authenticity while maintaining essential comfort standards.

Safari activities are diverse and ecosystem-driven, combining land- and water-based experiences including game drives, walking safaris, canoeing, boating, and fishing. The Lower Zambezi’s river system creates consistently strong wildlife movement, particularly for elephant, buffalo, and predator species.

The experience remains intimate and personalised, with low guest numbers and flexible guiding ensuring strong engagement with both landscape and wildlife.

Transfers & Flights: Flight from Lufupa Airstrip to Jeki Airstrip followed by a short transfer into camp.

The final leg transitions into South Luangwa, widely recognised as one of Africa’s premier safari destinations and the origin of the walking safari concept.

Time + Tide Kakuli is positioned in a prime wildlife zone overlooking the Luangwa River and surrounding floodplains, offering elevated accommodation designed to maximise views and airflow while maintaining a strong connection to the natural environment.

The safari experience is centred around expert guiding and flexibility, with a strong emphasis on walking safaris complemented by game drives. This region consistently delivers high-quality predator sightings, particularly leopard and lion, alongside dense populations of elephant, hippo, and plains game.

Seasonal variations enhance the experience, with dry-season game concentration and green-season photographic opportunities providing different but equally compelling safari dynamics.

Transfers & Flights: Flight from Jeki Airstrip to Mfuwe Airport followed by road transfer into camp. Departure routing returns via Mfuwe to Lusaka.

A final transfer connects back to Mfuwe Airport for the scheduled flight into Kenneth Kaunda International Airport, concluding the safari circuit.

This itinerary delivers a structured progression from riverside introduction through remote conservation landscapes into classic bushcamp environments and ultimately into one of Africa’s most wildlife-dense regions, creating a balanced, high-impact safari experience grounded in authenticity and access
