The Zambia walking safari itinerary, day by day
A Zambia walking safari itinerary in the craft’s birthplace — tracking big game on foot in South Luangwa, then canoeing the Lower Zambezi past elephants and hippo pods.
Nothing here is fixed — this is the shape we design most often. Tell us what to keep, stretch or swap, and your version arrives priced and complete.
June–October dry season; September for carmine bee-eaters and peak river life.

Home
Fly out via Lusaka — or extend to Victoria Falls, an easy hop away.
