South Luangwa Safari Vacation
A trip for a real bush experience where rustic chic camps set the scene for an authentically African stay. You will see 3 different areas of Zambia's South Luangwa National Park. If you are feeling adventurous you can even walk between the camps, with your belongings brought along for you.
The 3 contrasting experiences are all under the umbrella of the reliable Kafunta Safaris which ensures continuity of service and the high quality of their guiding team. You will divide your time between a classic safari lodge, Kafunta River Lodge, a rustic and adventurous wilderness camp, Island Bush Camp, and a sophisticated tented camp, Three Rivers Camp. Explore this exquisite park with its abundant wildlife on day and night game drives and walking safaris. At Three Rivers Camp, you will have the opportunity to sleep on your own private star bed and at Kafunta River Lodge you can go swimming in the infinity pool or enjoy a back massage. This itinerary promises amazing big cat sightings and incredible hippo sightings.
