Zambia Untamed: Waterfalls, Wilderness & the Wild Zambezi

Days 1-3: Your journey begins in Livingstone, where you’ll be met on arrival and privately transferred to the luxurious Royal Livingstone Hotel, a five-star retreat perched on the banks of the Zambezi River. The hotel’s manicured lawns and vintage colonial charm offer a serene welcome, with wild zebras often wandering through the grounds. On your first evening, board the African Queen for a relaxed sunset cruise, where you can sip cocktails and watch the sun dip below the horizon as hippos and elephants move through the water. The next day, enjoy a private guided tour of Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, followed by a scenic microlight flight that takes you soaring above the thunderous cascades — a truly exhilarating way to appreciate the sheer scale and beauty of this iconic destination. 2 nights at Royal Livingstone Hotel, breakfast included

Days 3-6: From the Falls, fly deep into South Luangwa National Park, a haven for wildlife lovers and the birthplace of the walking safari. Your home here is Lion Camp, an upscale, eco-conscious lodge overlooking an oxbow lagoon that draws in a constant stream of animals. Days are filled with morning and afternoon game drives in open vehicles, where expert guides help you track leopards, lions, elephants, giraffe, and countless antelope species across vast, untamed landscapes. For a more intimate encounter with nature, join a guided walking safari, stepping quietly through the bush to learn about animal tracks, birds, and plant life. In the evenings, return to camp for fireside cocktails, three-course dinners, and stargazing under the clear African sky. 3 nights at Lion Camp, all meals included

Days 6-9: Your final destination is the remote and picturesque Lower Zambezi National Park, reached by light aircraft for that ultimate safari sense of escape. Stay at Amanzi Camp, an exclusive tented lodge set along a secluded stretch of the Zambezi River, where elephants often wander through camp and hippos grunt in the shallows nearby. This region offers a diverse safari experience, blending game drives, walking safaris, boating excursions, canoe trips, and tiger fishing. One morning might find you silently drifting along the river past basking crocodiles and colorful birds; the next, bouncing through acacia woodland in search of big cats. Evenings are pure magic — lantern-lit dinners by the water, the sound of distant lion calls, and the peaceful luxury of the wild surrounding you. After three unforgettable nights, you'll return to Lusaka for your onward flight home. 3 nights at Amanzi Camp, all meals included
