10N Luangwa and Livingstone Safari

The Luangwa Valley is possibly one of the worlds last unspoiled wilderness areas  and potentially one of  the finest wildlife sanctuary in Africa.

This Zambia Safari park has very good game viewing which can be viewed from either the river in a canoe or on the land,or via a walking or driving safari.Drifting past elephants that are feeding by the river bank is a one of the kind experience.

On this unique Zambia Safari,you will experience the amazing Luangwa Valley and Livingstone,home to one of 7 natural wonders of the world,the Victoria Falls.

There are game viewing opportunities to in Livingstone,as you can see the white rhino in Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park.Combining these two  areas,offers you an exceptional Zambia safari.

Nkwali Camp overlooks a wide bend of the Luangwa River into the South Luangwa National Park and is ideally situated for the start of your safari.

All rooms have a view of the river and open air bathrooms.The game in this area is very good- and includes many family herds of elephants and the endemic Thornicroft Giraffe.

A typical day at Nkwali starts with you waking with the dawn to enjoy breakfast round a camp fire before heading out on your morning activity.

A delicious lunch is enjoyed on the bank of the lagoon which is frequently visited by our local wildlife.

The afternoon is the quiet part of the day – for siesta or swim in the pool.

In the mid-afternoon you meet up with your guide before heading out for an evening adventure finding a beautiful location to watch the sun go down with a well earned drink in hand.

The opportunity to discover the nocturnal world by spotlight is a wonderful treat before heading back to Nkwali for dinner.

Nkwali Cottage South luangwa Zambia Safari

Nkwali Camp is located  overlooking the National Park.

 The land is superb game viewing country with a beautiful area of ebony woodland and open grass plains.

Elephants often cross the Luangwa seen from the bar,or come to the waterhole near the thatched dining room.

 The chalets are cool and spacious with a view of the river.

One double four twins and a honeymoon suite/family suite.Throughout the year we have direct access from camp to the park by boat.

During the dry months we operate a pontoon into the more southern part of the area.

12 guests:

  • woven bamboo walls with plastering on the inside and thatch roof chalets
  • en-suite semi open air bathrooms with flush loo, double shower and basins
  • walking, drives, night drives,
  • visit to Kawaza Village and school,and to  Tribal Textile
  • plunge pool

Days 4 to 7

After an early breakfast,a game drive through the park and across the river takes you into the Nsefu Sector which is recognized as a phenomenal game viewing area.

There are six round rondavels with luxurious ensuite facilities and each room has a clear view of the sweeping bend of the Luangwa River through large windows and from the wooden verandahs.

During your stay you have the opportunity to drive or walk through the ebony groves or depending on the heat and time of year,to explore further afield with an all day picnic drive to the salt pans that will cover different habitats and is an exceptional day’s safari.

There is also the option of visiting the community at Kawaza Village to experience life in a real non-tourist village.

Nsefu Camp.

On a sweeping bend of the river,12 kilometers north of Tena Tena, lies Nsefu.

Nsefu was the first game camp in Zambia and dates back to the early fifties.The Nsefu Sector was recognized then as a phenomenal area and it still is.

Nsefu camp Zambia Safari

We reopened the camp in 1999 in keeping with the original style and operate the only 2 camps in the Nsefu Sector of the park.

The view of the river is superb and includes a terraced area where game grazes during the day.

The bar is tucked in beside a huge extinct termite mound and overlooks a waterhole that is very productive for game, especially leopard at night.

The original rondavels have been extended with a spacious bathroom added.

Each room has a clear view of the river through large windows and from the new wooden verandah.

The camp lies in the heart of the undeveloped Nsefu sector and so offers charm and total comfort in remoteness and seclusion.

The tree house Tongabezi Livingstone Zambia

Accommodation at Tongabezi Lodge is set in a tranquil grove of ebony on a sweeping bend of the Zambezi River, and consists of five tented cottages and four spacious open-planned stone and thatch houses.

Tongabezi Island Camp is three kilometers down stream from the lodge and accessed only from there by either motorised banana boat or canoe.

This unique camp consists of four cottages built from local timber reed and thatch.

Each has a spectacular private view overlooking the Zambezi.

The birdlife is outstanding and game is often seen around the Island Camp and Lodge.

There is a wide range of activities on offer at Tongabezi including fishing,canoe trips on the river and game drives in the Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park.
