South Luangwa and Kafue: the best of Zambia in 11 days
This 11-day itinerary combines Zambia's two most iconic parks, for a complete experience of what Southern Africa has to offer at its most authentic.
South Luangwa: the birthplace of the walking safari
South Luangwa is Zambia's premier park, renowned worldwide for its leopards, African wild dogs, and its tradition of walking safaris. The Luangwa River, which gradually narrows during the dry season, concentrates all the wildlife on its banks, creating scenes of increasing intensity as the weeks go by. Night drives, available from private camps, are among the best on the continent for leopard spotting.
Kafue National Park: absolute exclusivity
Kafue is one of Africa's largest parks, covering 22,400 km², and one of the least visited. In some areas, entire days of driving can pass without encountering another vehicle. Its wildlife is remarkably diverse, and boat safaris on the Kafue River offer a unique perspective on its exceptional wetlands.
This Zambian safari is tailor-made by Fundis'Africa, with coordination of domestic flights and support in French or English. Let's organize your departure.
