Victoria Falls & Zambia Safari Family – 7 nights

Contact a specialist about our Victoria Falls and Zambia Safari Family

Our family holidays are tailor made journeys designed by our expert staff with your individual requirements in mind. The following sample family holiday includes a stay at the action packed Victoria Falls, followed by a 4 day safari in the Lower Zambezi National Park staying at Kasaka River Lodge. Kasaka River Lodge is one of the few safari lodges in Zambia to accommodate children. This lodge recognises the enormous benefits children derive from a bush experience and have incorporated this into their new packages for families. A typical Bush Kids programme would include: specially designed children's safaris; cultural visits to local schools and villages; bush kids activity books; pod and seed collecting; fishing for the legendary Tigerfish; African art and craft lessons; tracking for beginners and evening story while Mum and Dad have a peaceful dinner! This is simply an idea of how your family may like to spend their time. An ideal extension to this trip would be a trip to Lake Malawi.

On arrival in Livingstone, Zambia you will clear customs where you will be met and transferred to the Zambezi Sun Hotel. Livingstone is the home of the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park or Smoke that Thunders National Park and the famous Victoria Falls. Enjoy your next three days taking in the falls, and enjoying boat cruises up the mighty Zambezi. Perhaps take in a helicopter ride or for the more adventurous there is white water rafting, horse riding or even bungi jumping!

Day 4 - 7:

Today you will fly by light aircraft from Livingstone via Lusaka to the Lower Zambezi National Park. On arrival you will be met and transferred to the camp. Kasaka River Lodge is a tented camp nestled on the banks of the Zambezi River in the Chiawa Game Management area 4 kilometres by road from the Lower Zambezi National Park - this is the only stretch on the 2,700 kilometre course of the Zambezi River where one finds National Parks on both banks of the river - the Lower Zambezi National Park in Zambia and the famed Mana Pools World Heritage Site in Zimbabwe. The river extends the length of the property and there are breathtaking views over the water with sightings of buffalo, elephant, hippo and crocodile. The National Park is home to herds of elephant and buffalo and offers frequent sightings of lion and leopard. Impala, waterbuck and Kudu are common sightings as are zebra, warthog, monkeys, baboons and hyena. Activities on offer from the camp include game drives, river safaris, Lower Zambezi fishing, vintage walking safaris, bush kid's programme and Zambezi River canoeing.
