- Day 2 and 3 - South Luangwa National ParkThese days we will spend with game viewing inside the National Park. We will explore the area with our game viewing vehicle. Game drives along the Luangwa River often produces spectacular sightings. Hippo families occur in high numbers in the river, unequalled in Africa. During the dry season (July to October), many side channels of the river dry up, leaving the fish trapped. This attracts many different species of predators, such as the African fish eagle, jackal, and hyena, to mention but a few. The colourful Carmine bee-eaters are often seen perching in front of their nests in the riverbanks. Camping on the banks of the Luangwa River at Croc Valley Camp or similar. (2x FB).

- Day 8 - North Luangwa NPToday’s stage takes us from the hot Luangwa Valley up the steep escarpment (altitude 1400 m). While we drive the temperature gets cooler and the dry savannah gives way to the Miombo forest. In the northern area of the park, we set up our camp at an exclusive campsite near the Mano Gate.

Camping at the campsite of Mutinondo Wilderness (FB)
Meals & Drinks: All Meals Included
- Day 10 and 11 - Bangweule SwampsThese remote swamps are unique in ecology, fauna and flora. The water covers huge areas of the swamps until about April each year, when the waterline slowly recedes, and water birds congregate to feed in the pools and channels that are left behind. It is here that we will be looking for the elusive Shoebill. This interesting, strange looking bird has become very rare in most parts of Africa, but here in the Bangweulu they are fairly common. We move on foot and with a boat (depending on the water level) to find the water birds, the huge herds of Lechwe antelope, and other animals like Tsessebe (a species of antelope), zebra, buffalo and black backed jackal. The herds of thousands of Lechwe in this seemingly endless landscape, is an unforgettable African experience! Camping at Nsobe Campsite (2x FB)

Accommodation: Camping
Meals & Drinks: All Meals Included
- Day 12 and 13 - Kasanka National ParkEarly in the morning we go further to the Kasanka National Park. Towards the end of October and in November millions of straw-coloured fruit bats arrive from the Congo. This is known as the world’s biggest migration if mammals - a sight not to be missed! With some luck we will be able to observe the rare and shy Sitatunga Antelope (among other animals). The bird life is amazing as well at this time of the year. Camping inside the National Park.
