The Zambian Circuit

 

The Zambian Safari circuit is largely unknown and traditionally, was seen as a difficult area to access. This is no longer the case. This perception has mostly changed as access to the camps has increased in the past few years.

 

The draw card to this wildlife circuit is that the areas are mostly untouched and quite beautifully wild and remote - you will not be disappointed - the wilderness is pristine with excellent game sightings. For those clients who want an intimate bush experience, in a truly remote and beautiful part of Africa, the Zambian Circuit is ideal.

 

Puku Ridge Tented Camp - South Luangwa National Park
 

The camp is small and intimate, built unobtrusively hugging the wilderness. Each of the six comfortably furnished safari tents has its own bathroom which also provides the option to take a shower with the ‘sun on your shoulders.

 

   

Lechwe Plains Tented Camp - Lochinvar National Park
 

Lechwe Plains is located midway between Livingstone and Lusaka, on the banks of the Kafue River floodplain, in Lochinvar National Park - World Heritage Wetland Site.

The 6 luxurious, spacious tents each have an en-suite bathrooms and private viewing decks which offers guests amazing views.

 

 

 

More information on Lochinvar National Park & South Luangwa National Park.

Lochinvar National Park is a World Heritage Wetland Site, situated on the Kafue river floodplain midway between Livingstone and Lusaka. The park is now the last stronghold for the Kafue Lechwe, an aquatic antelope of extraordinary grace. Lochinvar is a birdwatcher's paradise with over 400 species recorded. Activities at Lechwe Plains Tented Camp include game drives and walks on the open flood plains to view vast herds of Kafue Lechwe, water excursions in makoros and a visit to the local cultural fishing village by banana boat.

The South Luangwa National Park is a place of primaeval forest and lush savanna, stretching for hundreds of miles and encompassing the Luangwa River basin, its adjacent highlands and a mosaic of different habitats extending outwards from the central river. Activities in South Luangwa National Park include open safari vehicle game drives in the early morning and late afternoon/evening and guided walks.

These 2 camps offer are a great combination, as Lechwe Plains (Lochinvar National Park) offers a great birding experience with a cultural element while Puku Ridge (South Luangwa National Park) offers the traditional game drive experience where guests can view an abundants of varied wildlife including the four of the 'Big Five' (elephant, lion, buffalo and leopard).

Remember that another combination option is to include Kulefu Tented Camp in the Lower Zambezi National Park, which is a seasonal destination. It is only open from May - Oct each year, due to the rainy season. Lower Zambezi National Park is a water wilderness area on the banks of the mighty Zambezi River. There are many activity options available in this area from walking under the guidance of a professional guide, game drives in open safari vehicles and game viewing on the water along the banks of the Zambezi by canoes.
