One for the adventurers. An authentic safari experience, venture into the wild heart of Zambia’s South Luangwa and Liuwa Plains National Parks, staying in back-to-nature bushcamps. You will be led by award-wining guides and experience the wilderness on game drives and walking safaris.
Time + Tide’s South Luangwa bushcamps are in the best game areas. Each camp has its own distinctive personality and style, yet all are designed to reconnect you with the natural world by providing an immersive, authentic experience. Still largely devoid of crowds, the South Luangwa is known as the Valley of the Leopard. Keep an eye out for cats, large elephant herds, diverse birdlife, huge pods of hippos and endangered wild dogs. End at the remote and under visited Liuwa Plain, in the west of Zambia. With its large wildebeest movement, exceptional birdlife as well as predator action, it is one of Zambia’s best-kept secrets.
