8 days · Lower Zambezi · South Luangwa
Big Rivers of Zambia
Eight days on the Zambezi and the Luangwa — canoes, walking safaris and leopards.
About this journey
The shortest way to see Zambia properly. Four nights on the Lower Zambezi paddling past elephant and hippo, then across to South Luangwa, the park that invented the walking safari and still does it best. Good first safari, and good value.
