Getting back to the roots of a bygone era of the great African safari. The traditional feel of solitude and adventure, where the focus is on the wilderness, nature and getting in touch with the life around us. Keeping with the ethos of top-quality guiding, this one is also a nod to how service ought to be. It will surprise you, with cuisine and comfort ...and you will feel like you are the only guest for miles....
These selected camps offer a high level of comfort with fine dining, excellent service and most importantly, fantastic wildlife experiences with James as your private guide. Flying between the camps allows for free movement between Zambia’s parks whilst getting a bird's eye view. A discerning, adventurous and more actioned-focused option.
Rustic and wild fusion safari, not ommitting luxury! This is a combination of our premier Wild Classic package, with the added 4-night stay in the South Luangwa National Park. The grand finale will take your breath away at the sensational triangle at Sungani Lodge seeing three of Zambia's top National Parks.
One of the essences of safari is getting in touch with the natural world and experiencing the splendors of what each day has to offer. This safari is a blend of comfortable rustic beauty and the heart of the wildlife safari. Both properties are owner run by passionate people who are driven to protect the natural world and bring it to their guests in the true way of bygone eras.
In the Kafue National Park we stay at Musekese Camp and Ntemwa Camp on the southern section of the famous Busanga plains. They are intimate tented and grass reed structures respectively, reminiscent of traditional safaris. Their link with conservation makes a part of the contribution with staying at these camps going back into the protection of the wildlife and ecosystems.
As we head to the Lower Zambezi NP we stay at two camps with the possibility of a sleep out on another site and these camps are on the banks of the beautiful Zambezi River. In the rooms you can open the blinds, so you see a 180-degree view of your surrounds and the possibility of wildlife visitors outside are a common occurrence. A real drive for traditional wildlife experiences that focus on what guests want in an incredibly scenic environment.
The diversity of activities gives this an experience that will offer a range of stimulation. The Kafue National Park is Zambia’s largest and one of Africa’s largest National Parks and the two camps are in two very different ecosystems. From the waters of the Kafue River, walking the grassland of the Eden lagoon and surrounds to the vast majestic beauty of the awestriking Busanga Plains in the north of the park. There is a variety to do by boat, on foot or just staying with the vehicle and soaking it all in.
The Lower Zambezi National Park is a part of a special ecosystem on the banks of the mighty Zambezi River, one of the most beautiful of Zambia’s National Parks. Here there is so much to offer, rich in large wildlife and small. Out on the water or on land you can experience so much in a variety of different ways. Take to the water by boat, drift through the channels or main river by canoe or walk the stunning Winterthorn (Faidherbia albida) groves, and by vehicle watch many a scene unfold before you.
