Experience the wild heart of Zambia on an unforgettable 13-night camping adventure, travelling from the mighty Zambezi River into some of the country’s most remote and rewarding wilderness areas. Combining camping, wildlife, dramatic landscapes and some of Zambia’s lesser-visited destinations, this journey is ideal for adventurous travellers wanting to experience a more authentic and wild side of Zambia, far beyond the traditional tourist routes. Places that will be covered are Liuwa Plains, Kafue National Park and Lower Zambezi.
Arrive today in Livingstone. You will be met at Livingstone Airport and transfer to Maramba River Lodge.
Meals, drinks and activities are for your own account.
After breakfast we drive along the course of the Zambezi River up to the beautiful Ngonye Falls; not as mighty as the “big brother” further south, but equally impressive. The Zambezi splits into several channels and the masses of water find their way through the basalt rock formations. We will hike to an island to get the best view of the falls.
Camping near the river.

Today we drive further north to Mongu and cross the Barotse flood plains to the Liuwa Plains National Park. There are few roads; however this is part of the park’s attraction: around 3660km² of untouched Africa. Most of this is a vast honey-coloured plain of grass, with just the occasional water pan, island of raffia palms or a small tree-belt interrupting the scenery.
End of October tens of thousands of Gnu (about 45.000) as well as zebra and buffalo will join the more resident red lechwe and reedbuck.
The open plains are particularly good for oribi. Hyena are the main predators here, while wild dog, cheetah and lion are dispersed on the plains.

We drive through pristine Miombo forest to Chunga. Several small rivers cross this area. These leave a number of waterholes in the dry season for the animals to quench their thirst. Wild dogs, which roam large areas of the park, cheetah and lion are among the inhabitants here.

We leave the wilderness and drive on a tar road to Zambia’s capital Lusaka. We stay overnight in the capital at a campsite.
In the morning, we drive down the escarpment to the Zambezi Valley. A visit to the Lower Zambezi National park is one of the highlights of any trip to Zambia. A region rich in wildlife and exceptionally beautiful scenery awaits us here. The Zambezi River on one side and the escarpment on the other provide a magnificent backdrop for our wildlife viewing.
