The excitement is mounting as you catch your first glimpse of the herd of elephants and know that this is just the start of your amazing adventure on safari in Zambia.

Starting in Livingstone you can spend the day exploring this interesting colonial town or do some shopping at the local craft markets.

The next day you travel with your guide and driver to Victoria Falls where you can sit and sip a cool drink just a stone’s throw from the mighty Falls and  hear the thunderous roar of water as it rushes into the mighty Zambezi.

On the third day travel by road upstream to the lovely Islands of Siankaba. Here you can stay in a secluded chalet which is located on one of two untouched islands in the middle of the mighty Zambezi River and at night you can really enjoy the sunset as you cruise up the mighty Zambezi.

The next day, one of the most interesting options is to travel by vehicle to visit the local village and school. This is a wonderful cultural insight into the Zambian way of life and for a real experience you can return to your lodge by canoe.

On day five you transfer across the river by boat into Botswana and continue on to the Muchenje Safari Lodge. With an estimated 45,000 elephants in the area Chobe is reputed to have the highest concentration of elephants in Africa. Later in the day you get to experience your first safari looking for ‘big game’.

The next day you get to safari in the early morning looking to catch sight of the game especially around the waterholes in Chobe National Park. For lunch hop on board the boat which takes you on a stunning cruise down the Chobe River. At night after returning to the lodge you get set to partake in dinner under the stars.
