Itinerary
Day 1
Lusaka, Zambia / Lower Zambezi National Park / Chiawa Camp
Arrive at Lusaka and fly to Lower Zambezi National Park, where you meet your guide for a safari briefing, followed by a game drive and tiger fishing.
Day 2
Chiawa Camp / Mwambashi River Lodge, Lower Zambezi River
Launch your canoe onto the Zambezi and paddle downstream, steering clear of hippo and crocodile. The sprawling Zambezi is dotted with small islands, where animals feed and predators hunt. You paddle between four and six hours today.
Days 3 - 4
Zambezi Kulefu Camp
Explore the park's remote interior by canoe or foot safari, cast a line for tiger fish and keep a lookout for the wild dog, disappearing from this part of Africa.
Day 5
Livingstone / Sussi & Chuma Lodge / Victoria Falls
Fly to Livingstone and drive to Sussi & Chuma. See Victoria Falls from the air on an ultralight aircraft, or take an elephant-back safari through the forest on the Zambian side.
Day 6
Okavango Delta, Botswana / Macatoo Horseback Safari Camp
Depart Livingstone for Macatoo Camp. Get to know your horse, then mount up for your first wilderness ride. Return as the sun sets over the delta.
Days 7 - 8
Macatoo Camp / Horseback Safari
Experience the delta on horseback. Trace backcountry elephant trails; investigate fresh game tracks; race the lechwe as they thunder through the water meadows; and penetrate the lower flood plains where elephant gather and hyena drink. You break each afternoon for a swim in the pool, or a driving or walking safari, then head back out for the evening ride.
Day 9
Macatoo Camp / Maun / Johannesburg
After a final morning ride, you fly to Johannesburg and overnight at Tintswalo Lodge.
