11-Day Traditional Zambia Safari

>> This morning, you’ll have the chance to visit the magnificent Victoria Falls. Joined by a lodge guide, wander the scenic pathways that wind around the Falls and take in the powerful sight of the Zambezi River cascading into the Batoka Gorge below. You'll return to the lodge for a leisurely lunch and spend the afternoon unwinding by the swimming pool.

On another day, you can choose from a variety of inclusive lodge activities such as fishing trips, birdwatching excursions, village visits, or guided tours of Livingstone and the David Livingstone Museum. For those wanting even more adventure, the lodge can arrange helicopter or microlight flights over the Falls, bungee jumps, gorge swings, rhino tracking in Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, or even a trip to the Zimbabwean side for a fresh perspective of this natural wonder.

Once you've had time to settle in, you'll head out on a game drive to get acquainted with the area—this park is known for its remarkable predator sightings and striking landscapes.

Over the following days, you'll enjoy a variety of safari activities. Game drives are complemented by boat cruises along the Zambezi River, perfect for birdwatching, photography, or simply sipping sundowners as the day winds down. For the more adventurous, canoe safaris and guided walks offer a thrilling and intimate way to explore the park and its wildlife.

Across the next few days, you’ll explore the rich wildlife of South Luangwa, known for its exceptional predator sightings — leopards are often spotted on evening drives. Herds of elephants and buffalo roam the plains, and you’ll likely encounter endemic species like puku antelopes. Birdlife is abundant, making binoculars a must.

When you’re not out exploring, Kafunta’s impressive facilities make relaxing just as memorable. You'll unwind by the pool with sweeping views of the floodplains, indulge in a spa treatment, or keep active in the lodge’s gym.
