Day 1

Lunga River Lodge

The northern Kafue can be accessed by air from either Lusaka or Livingstone in Zambia.

On arrival at the Lunga airstrip, you will be met by a guide from Lunga River Lodge who will transfer you to the lodge by road or possibly by boat along the Lunga River.

Lunga River Lodge is beautifully situated on the west bank of the pristine Lunga River. The six roomed luxury lodge boasts a unique location in a remote corner of the Kafue Natioanl Park where the Lunga River is the centre of safari activities.

Activities at Lunga focus on the river from which the camp takes its name, with the opportunity to explore this fantastic system by boat, on foot along its banks, or by vehicle in the fringing woodlands and dambos (open, grassy areas). Hippo, crocodile, elephant and leopard are present, while impala, puku and wildebeest are common. A small population of the unusual tree hyrax is resident in the camp at Lunga, their calls echoing through the night.

1 night on a full board basis plus activities

Days 2, 3 & 4

Shumba Camp

After a morning activity and breakfast at Lunga, you will be flown by helicopter to Shumba Camp.

Shumba Camp is located in the centre of the Busanga Plains, home to hundreds of red lechwe, ubiquitous puku, stately roan and the diminutive oribi. Lichtenstein's hartebeest, herds of wildebeest, zebra and buffalo make for a full set of antelope all of which move onto the Plains as the dry season progresses. This wealth of game is a big attraction for predators, including wild dog, cheetah and prides of lion.

Shumba Camp comprises six spacious luxury safari tents on raised platforms with spectacular views of the surrounding plains. The rooms are large, en-suite with both indoor and outdoor showers. The dining and bar area is elevated so as to take in this vista and each morning's sunrise; dinner takes place either here or in the cosy boma where guests can also enjoy elements of local Zambian culture.  A maximum of 12 guests can be accommodated at any one time and great emphasis has been placed on the "guided" experience - being led by qualified, enthusiastic people with in-depth knowledge of the area and its wildlife. Guests have the option of game drives in and around the Plains and night drives provide the added excitement of the nocturnal wonders of the area.

3 nights at Shumba Camp on a full board basis plus activities.
