Classic Luxury & Wildlife Experience

On arrival at Lusaka Airport, you will connect onto a domestic scheduled flight to Mfuwe Airport, where a guide will welcome you and take you to Lion Camp — your home during your 3-night stay in Zambia's game-rich South Luangwa National Park.

Famously known as the 'Pride of South Luangwa', this camp has ten rooms (7 luxury suites and 3 deluxe suites) sleeping 20 guests and is the northernmost camp on the west bank of the Luangwa accessible from the main Mfuwe area.

Its position is one of its strongest assets — by the time you reach camp you have left the busier Mfuwe area far behind. Lagoons near camp and rich riverine vegetation mean game-viewing is usually very good.

The tents are raised on stilts overlooking an ox-bow lagoon, each connected to the central area by a wooden walkway. The main area is spacious and airy with a pool, bar, snooker table, coffee station and spectacular views of wildlife on the plains.

The suites have been designed to maximize spectacular views of the plains, allowing guests constant viewing from either the main lodge decks or the luxury of their own private suite deck.

Activities are on foot or by vehicle. Night drives from this remote camp are a highlight — you are unlikely to see another vehicle while patrolling the area close to camp. Due to its remote location, Lion Camp is open from 21 May through to the end of October.

South Luangwa is renowned for leopard, elephant, giraffe and abundant birdlife. Walking safaris were pioneered here — and Lion Camp's remote setting puts you right in the heart of it.

You will be transferred to Mfuwe Airport to catch a domestic scheduled flight to Royal Airstrip. At Royal, a guide will welcome you and transfer you to Zambezi Grande — your home for the final 4 nights of this Zambian safari.

Zambezi Grande is situated near the Lower Zambezi National Park, on a prime sector of the Zambezi River front, offering visitors an unforgettable personal retreat with all the sumptuous indulgences a discerning guest would appreciate.

This small, family-owned lodge on the banks of the Zambezi has 10 well-appointed air-conditioned rooms — 5 spacious stand-alone superior suites with great river views, and 5 luxury rooms closer to the river bank. The communal areas are decorated with style and elegance.

A large deck overlooks the river with dining tables, loungers and a pool that overhangs the water. Private in-room spa treatments are offered in the comfort of your suite with the magnificent African landscape as your backdrop.

Between game drives, unwind at the pool, enjoy a riverside spa treatment, or sip sundowners as the Zambezi glows at dusk.

Dine under the stars on the deck, gather around the fire pit, or soak in an outdoor bath as the savanna settles into twilight.

From the thatched verandas to the fire-lit boma, Zambezi Grande blends contemporary comfort with the wild beauty of the Lower Zambezi.

At some stage on this day, you will be transferred to Royal Airstrip to catch a scheduled domestic flight to Lusaka, where you will connect onto your onward international flight going back home or to your next destination.
