Marvel at the spectacular Victoria Falls and then safari alongside 2 of Africa's greatest rivers, the Luangwa and Zambezi, all whilst staying in luxury camps and lodges. The South Luangwa National Park and the Lower Zambezi National Park offer some of the best wildlife viewing in Africa. First up, Royal Chundu River Lodge, a tranquil hideaway on the riverbank of the Zambezi. Further downstream is the roaring, thundering, smoking Victoria Falls, only 30km away.
Sunset cruises, picnics, fishing and canoeing are but some of the activities you can enjoy here. More river-based activity follows at Anabezi, a stunning slice of safari sophistication in the Lower Zambezi National Park. Exceptional game viewing is assured - the area is home to a host of prestigious wildlife including lion, leopard, hyena as well as an abundance of other indigenous species. Complete your luxury river safari at the ultra-luxurious Chinzombo Camp in the South Luangwa National Park, the home of the walking safari. Here you will be lulled to sleep by bellowing hippos and may even wake up with the eye of an elephant just outside your luxury safari tent.
