Tour Overview

Your adventure begins in the vibrant heart of Zambia, Lusaka, where a chartered flight awaits to whisk you away to the enchanting Kasonso Camp in the Busanga Plains. Renowned for its breathtaking landscapes and abundant wildlife, Busanga is a marvel of nature that promises unforgettable encounters.

From the wilds of Busanga, your journey takes to the skies once more, descending into the serene embrace of the Lower Zambezi. Here, nestled along the river’s edge, lies the exquisite Kutali Camp, a haven of tranquility and natural beauty.

The adventure continues as you return to Lusaka, where the luxurious Ciela Resort offers a respite before the next leg of your voyage.

A scenic road transfer leads to a boat that will carry you across the border into Mozambique, to the untamed shores of Lake Cahora Bassa. Amidst this wilderness, you will find solace in the rustic charm of Mbadzi and Panyame camps, where five nights under the stars await. As your odyssey draws to a close, we will ensure your safe return to the comforts of Ciela Resort in Lusaka, before your departing international flight.
