Best of Zambia

LIVINGSTONE & LOWER ZAMBEZI NATIONAL PARK.

This safari combines Sindabezi Island Camp in Livingstone and Chongwe River Safari Camp in the Lower Zambezi. It covers the World Heritage Victoria Falls & one of Zambia's premier parks Lower Zambezi.

Combining these three areas in Zambia gives you an exceptional safari. The Lower Zambezi National Park - this park, scenically bordered by an impressive escarpment, has excellent game, which can be viewed from either the river or by land. Quietly drifting past a huge elephant feeding is a great experience.

DAY 1: LIVINGSTONE

The Sindabezi Island Camp is three kilometers down stream from the lodge and accessed only from there by either motorized banana boat or canoe.

CHONGWE RIVER CAMP, only 20 mins from the airstrip, is situated on the confluence of the Chongwe and Zambezi Rivers, directly opposite Mana Pools. The Chongwe River is the boundary of the Lower Zambezi National Park.

Situated under a canopy of Albida thorns and surrounded by cool lawns, the 8 chalets are large, well appointed safari tents under thatch, with luxury ensuite open air bathrooms. The bathrooms are an experience on their own.

Gameviewing in the pristine Lower Zambezi National Park is superb and big game, such as elephant, hippo, buffalo and the big cats are even seen regularly in and around the camp! After a late lunch there will be a chance for an afternoon activity - be it on the river or by vehicle.
