From Mfuwe Airport, a game drive will take you deep into the heart of the SOUTH LUANGWA NATIONAL PARK to Kaingo, one of two camps built and run by Derek Shenton and his wife Juliet. They provide a really authentic African game-viewing experience with very personalised service.

The camp has six well appointed chalets and a centrally located open-sided sitting room, a dining area, library and Kaingo's renowned thousand year old lead-wood bar. There is also a wonderful wooden deck built out over the river making a relaxing vantage point to view game coming down to drink, basking hippos, aquatic birds, crocodiles fishing, and daily elephant crossings.

The varied terrain around camp includes a picturesque lagoon, one of the largest ebony forests in the Park and a grassland plain that teems with wildlife. In addition to game drives and walks, Kaingo also has elephant and hippo hides close to camp for incredible close-up encounters and great photographic opportunities. Another hide is set up on the river in early September opposite the carmine bee-eater colonies.

Game viewing will continue as you transfer south through the Park to a prime remote river location. At Chamilandu Bushcamp the creatively designed tree-house chalets are set on two metre-high stilts giving wonderful views over the Luangwa river and the Chindeni Hills. This might be a bush camp but you will still find every comfort.

In one of the top walking areas, a series of ox-bow lakes attract a variety of animal and birdlife and game drives are also offered should you prefer.

Take a scenic flight into the LOWER ZAMBEZI NATIONAL PARK to spend three nights soaking up the beauty of the river and park from Sausage Tree Camp. There are six originally designed Bedouin tented rooms and the dining room, library tent and riverside viewing deck offer stylish comfort.

For the length of your stay, you will be assigned your own guide to accompany you on walking safaris, game drives by day and night and scenic boat trips. This stretch of river is also particularly good to cast a fly for tigerfish!

A short flight away on the UPPER ZAMBEZI, just above the Victoria Falls, is Tongabezi, a lodge that combines exclusity with romance. The cottage rooms have private river views and are positioned under shady ebony trees.

In addition to visiting the FALLS and the craft markets in the town of Livingstone, you can take boat trips on the river, canoe, fish and go on game drives to MOSI O TUNYA NATIONAL PARK. White water rafting, bungee jumping, helicopter and microlight flights, horse riding and elephant back safaris are also available.

and what about?
	An interesting addition could be a walking safari, either between bush camps in the South Luangwa valley or in the remote North Luangwa National Park. The source of the Luangwa River can be reached on an exciting camping and walking expedition, or a few days could be spent recapturing Sir Stewart Gore Browne’s dream by visiting his ‘Africa House’, Shiwa.
