Lower Zambezi 5 day 4 night Safari
This extraordinarily beautiful park is located between the rolling hills of the Zambezi escarpment and the Zambezi river. Situated opposite the flood plains of the Mana pools national park in Zimbabwe. Our Five Day, Four Night Mobile Camping Safari is one of the few safaris in Africa that offers such a wide range of activities. From the famous Zambian game walks, night drives, morning and afternoon drives, river cruise to the thrill of canoeing down one of the most beautiful stretches that the Zambezi River has to offer.
Day 1
Leave Lusaka about 08:00 and head to the Lower Zambezi Game Management Area. Here we meet up with our
boat for a cruise down the scenic Zambezi River we stop at an island to enjoy lunch before setting off
for a short canoe trip to our first nights camp on one of the islands.
Day 2
After breakfast, start the full day’s canoe safari down the Zambezi to our purpose built bush camp overlooking
the river just outside the border of the Lower Zambezi National Park. The canoe safari is one of the highlights
of the trip. We’ll have lunch on one of the islands in the river with the possibility of sights of Buffalo,
Elephant as well as many Hippos, Crocs and other animals it is certainly an enjoyable day.
Day 3
We’ll get up early and after breakfast, head into the park to start our days safari. Lunch is spent at a safe
and scenic location, where we spend a couple of hours here out of the heat just relaxing and watching the game
as they come down to drink from the river. After lunch we do an afternoon game drive, the cool of the afternoon
is a good time to spot the predators, as they prefer to hunt in the cooler parts of the day. Arriving at a
great spot to watch the sunset and enjoy sundowners. We then go on an hour or so night drive keeping our eyes
open for the night hunters, such as Lion and Leopard as well as many other nocturnal such as Porcupine, Civet
and Genet, returning back to our camp for dinner.
Day 4
Up early again for a two or three hour game walk in the Game Management Area, the game walk is a great experience,
our guide and armed scout show us how to identify different types of spoor and droppings, also they’ll teach you about
the medicinal and spiritual uses of the many different plants and trees. We return to the campsite for lunch. The
rest of the day is spent relaxing by the river, before we cross to the nearby island for sundowners and a final
view of the Zambezi River and the park. Returning to the campsite for a final meal under the African night’s sky.
