Walking safaris are the best way to experience the African wilderness. And this itinerary is designed to explore some of the best kept sanctuaries Zambia has to offer.
Day 1: On arrival at Lusaka International airport you will be met by our representative who will check you in on a domestic flight to Mfuwe, where you will be transferred to Puku Ridge Tented camp. This camp is situated among trees overlooking a sweeping expanse of the fertile Kakumbi dambo. Your 2 night stay at Puku Ridge will be spent on either drive in an open safari or to walk under the guidance of our professional guides in one of the most scenic national parks in Zambia. Overnight Puku ridge Tented Camp Day 2: Another day of walking safari which can be opted to a game drive. Good sightings of elephants, lion, leopard, buffalo and giraffe. Overnight Puku ridge Tented Camp Day 3: After an early continental breakfast you will depart with your professional guide. On arrival at Luangwa River at midday, a picnic lunch will be provided. After lunch cross the Luangwa River by banana boat and commence the 2 to 3 hours walk to Mbulu (meaning water monitor). The Mbulu site is on the banks of the Kasansanya River which is a tributary of the Luangwa River. This is a very shady site with beautiful big ebony trees. This is an excellent area for leopards and the site overlooks a colony of Carmine bee-eaters. Great walks from the camp include a walk to the Luangwa Waffa (an inland lagoon, teeming with bird and wildlife). Good sightings of Eland in this area. Two nights will be spent exploring this area from your mobile tented camp in the well shaded Ebony grove. Overnight Mbulu Day 4: Another day spent walking and exploring in the Mbulu area. Overnight Mbulu Day 5: After an early continental breakfast you will depart for Kasansanya (meaning flowing water). This area has interesting woodland birds and large herds of buffalo and therefore lots of lion. Interesting walks in this area include walks to the Baobab trees (upside trees) and Hippo Bend which is a lagoon filled with hundreds and hundreds of hippos. Overnight Kasansanya Day 6: After breakfast you will depart on the 5hour game drive back to Chichele Presidential Lodge. A picnic brunch will be provided enroute. The Lodge has a magnificent hilltop site with sumptuous, air-conditioned accommodation. A turn of the century hunting lodge atmosphere completes the picture and provides you with a luxurious final night in the South Luangwa National Park. Overnight Chichele Presidential Lodge Day 7: After an early morning game drive and breakfast, transfer back to Mfuwe for your flight to Lusaka International Airport and onward connections.
