Day 1: Lusaka - Central Kafue National Park
You will leave Lusaka early morning to drive to Kafue National Park. Camping will be on the banks overlooking the Kafue River.
- Meals plan: Lunch and dinner
Day 2 and 3: Kafue National Park
You will spend the day doing game viewing drives in the park. Several small rivers cross this area. These leave a number of waterholes in the dry season for the animals to quench their thirst. Wild dogs, which roam large areas of the park, cheetah, and lion are among the inhabitants here. Camping will be on the banks of the Kafue River.
Day 4, 5, and 6: Liuwa Plains National Park
There are few roads in Liuwa Plain National Park. However, that is part of the park’s attraction: around 3660 square kilometers of untouched Africa. Most of this is a vast honey-colored plain of grass, with just the occasional water pan, islands of raffia palms or a small tree-belt interrupting the scenery.
Thousands of wildebeest (estimated at close to 50,000), with zebra, tsessebe, and buffalo, group together joining the more static resident roan antelope, red lechwe, and reedbuck. The open plains are particularly good for oribi antelope. With all these come to the predators: hyena, wild dog, and lion can be spotted. In the end of October, thousands of wildebeest will gather in the plains. Camping will be in the bush (running water, showers, and flush toilets are present).
Day 7: Ngonye Waterfalls
You will follow the course of the Zambezi River up to the beautiful Ngonye Falls, not as mighty as the “big brother further south, but equally impressive”. The Zambezi spreads into several channels and the masses of water find their way through the basalt rock formations. You will hike around the area to explore this beautiful landscape. Camping will be near the river.
Day 8: Livingstone
Drive along the Zambezi River to Livingstone. Drop off at your accommodation in town. Bundu Adventures can arrange activities (white water rafting, canoeing, helicopter flight, etc.) and book lodges for you.
