Days 4-5: South Luangwa

The South Luangwa National Park is a place of forest and lush savanna, stretching for hundreds of miles and encompassing the Luangwa River basin, its adjacent highlands and a mosaic of different habitats extending outwards from the river that forms its eastern boundary. Spend two full days enjoying the bountiful game viewing on offer. Species found within the park include elephant, lion, wild dog, buffalo and a wide variety of antelope, as well as Thornicroft's giraffe and Cookson's wildebeest. This is also an excellent area to spot leopard, perhaps the most formidable hunter on the plains. Look for game by vehicle or on foot, accompanied by a professional guide and an armed parks scout.Sanctuary Chichele Presidential Lodge B L D

Day 6: South Luangwa/Livingstone

You have the opportunity to visit and support a local community craft workshop before flying to Livingstone. Your home here is Sussi & Chuma, located in the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park. Accommodation at Sussi & Chuma consists of luxury tree houses built into the living canopy of giant ebony trees lining the bank. Each unit has a private view of the Zambezi from its own deck among the branches. In the fading twilight hours, take a sunset cruise, the majesty of the scene topped off with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres.

Day 7: Livingstone

This morning, take a guided walking tour of Victoria Falls. An average of more than a hundred million gallons of water each day flow from the Zambezi over a mile-wide basalt lip and tumble 360 feet to the rocks below. The roar of the crashing water, and the rainbows arcing across the mist-shrouded gorge, are an overwhelming phenomenon to witness. Having experienced the falls to the fullest, spend the rest of your day at leisure, enjoying a spa treatment or relaxing at the swimming pool. You may also choose to meet local villagers and provide support for their school and clinic.

Simonga Village Clinic: has been provided a new well to enable it to have clean water for treating patients.Sanctuary Sussi & Chuma B L D

Day 8: Livingstone/Kasane, Botswana/Okavango Delta

Depart Livingstone for Kasane, where you meet your flight to Stanley's Camp. Set in an amphitheater of ebony and sausage trees on the southern tip of Chief 's Island, Stanley's Camp borders the southern section of the Moremi Game Reserve. The area is home to a myriad of big game including elephant, giraffe, hippo, lion, leopard, cheetah and wild dog. The reserve houses one of the largest buffalo populations in the Okavango Delta and is an excellent area for spotting predatory cats.Sanctuary Stanley's Camp B L D

Day 9: Okavango Delta

Explore the rich delta ecosystem on morning and afternoon game drives, or, weather permitting, along the river channels by mokoro (dugout canoe). Because Stanley's is located within a private concession, night game drives are also an option, along with the opportunity to explore the bush on foot with your guide. A highlight of your visit is an up-close encounter with a group of African elephant habituated to human contact. Walk trunk-in-hand for a unique understanding of the intelligence and grace of these gentle giants.

Day 10: Okavango Delta

Fly to Chief 's Camp, located in the Mombo Concession of the Moremi Game Reserve, known as the "predator capital" of Botswana. The camp, constructed on a green-field site, consists of secluded luxury bush pavilions, each featuring a spacious seating area and a private game viewing deck. This afternoon, enjoy your first game drive. Sanctuary Chief's Camp B L D
