Day-by-Day Itinerary
Begin your safari with a morning road transfer from Lusaka to Lower Zambezi National Park a journey of approximately 4 to 5+ hours through the beautiful Zambian countryside. Watch as the landscape transforms from urban bustle to the wild beauty of the Zambezi Valley.
Upon arrival at Lower Zambezi Lodge, enjoy a delicious lunch followed by an afternoon siesta — the perfect way to settle into the rhythm of the bush. The lodge is set on a picturesque area overlooking the Zambezi River, with breathtaking views of the water and surrounding wilderness.
Later in the afternoon, embark on an evening game drive lasting 2 to 3 hours. As the sun begins to set, the bush comes alive with nocturnal activity — keep your eyes peeled for elephants, buffalo, lions, leopards, and more.
Return to camp for dinner around 20:00, followed by a nightcap at the campfire under a canopy of stars. Then, bedtime in the heart of the African bush.
