CLASSIC KAFUE SAFARI A 7 day safari exploring the Southern and Central Kafue National Park with 3 night stays at
both Nanzhila Plains and Kaingu Safari Lodge respectively.
NAME / GROUP: 2 - 12 people
TRAVEL DATES: 15 May - 15 November 2017
BRIEF SAFARI OVERVIEW This safari allows you to experience 2 of the most complimentary camps and regions of Kafue National Park
in Zambia. Beginning in Livingstone and ending in Lusaka (or vice versa), the Classic Kafue package offers the
wide open spaces and game drive/safari walk focus of Nanzhila Plains with the stunning river side location
and river activities of Kaingu Safari Lodge. This gives you both land and water based activities and a myriad of
different wildlife and birding species to discover - it really is the best of both worlds!
DAY 1 - 4: NANZHILA PLAINS SAFARI CAMP, SOUTHERN KAFUE. The Classic Kafue package begins in Livingstone with a 3 hour road transfer to Dundumwezi Gate where you will be met by
the Nanzhila Plains safari team. Enjoy a game drive into camp and settle into the beautiful rooms with views over the
dambo to enjoy a 3 night stay. Nanzhila is the closest true safari destination in Zambia to the Victoria Falls and enjoys
nearly 3000sqkm to itself. An incredible variety of wildlife and birding species as well as a quite magnificent location
overlooking the dambo make Nanzhila one of the most memorable safari camps in Zambia.
Why we love Nanzhila Plains:
Safari Accommodation The Nanzhila Chalets or safari tents
all have beautiful views over the
dambo and the gauzed windows
allow all the wonderful sounds of the
African night to reach you clearly!
Diverse wildlife encounters Game drives and safari walks around
Nanzhila are bound to reveal a wide
variety of wildlife and bird species
including 4 out the Big 5!
Owner run experience Your hosts at Nanzhila are the owners
- Steve and Cindy Smith - which
means you are assured of faultless
attention to detail and hours of stories
around the fire about life in the bush!
DAY 4 - 7: KAINGU SAFARI LODGE, KAFUE RIVER After a hearty breakfast, we will head out over the plains and through the Ngoma Forest towards Lake Itezhi-tezhi (there is
also the option of stopping to visit the Elephant Orphanage) before arriving at the ITT shoreline. Stopping at an appropriate
shady spot, we will enjoy a picnic lunch watching the antics of the wildlife around the lake before meeting the team from
Kaingu. Kaingu is magnificently situated in the riparian woodland on the banks of the Kafue River with stunning views.
African finfoot, hippo and a wide variety of birdlife are on constant display and river based boat cruises and canoeing is a
must on this portion of the Kafue River. Kaingu also conducts game drives in a stunning section of the Kafue National Park.
Why we love Kaingu Safari Lodge:
Luxury Tented Camp The river side accommodation at
Kaingu is stunning with constant
bird activity and the honking of
hippos in the background. These
well appointed safari tents are
beautiful comfortable and perfectly
positioned.
Kafue River encounters The section of the Kafue River around
Kaingu is stunning and the boat
cruises and canoe trips are an
absolute must on this trip to
complement the game drive
experience.
Kafue River wildlife As Kaingu is river-based, it offers a
number of bird and wildlife species
that are not found in Nanzhila so the
combination of the 2 camps really
gives you the full Kafue Safari feel!
