Arrive to Livingstone where you are met and transferred to your hotel for the evening. Check in and get settled into your camp, Toka Leya, a twenty-minute drive outside of Livingstone.
Set out on a guided tour of Victoria Falls and Livingstone today. Spend the rest of the day as you like, or arrange for additional activities in Livingstone or through your camp. A variety of adventure activities are offered along the Zambezi River and in the immediate area for those with more time after they tour the falls. Try whitewater rafting, bungee jumping, or river boarding. Visit the Livingstone museum and learn about its history. Or opt to wander the market stalls in Livingstone and enjoy the urban lifestyle. This evening enjoy a guided sundowner cruise on the Zambezi River, spotting crocodiles and hippos along the banks.
*Please note: Victoria Falls is only a trickle in mid-September through November. We can arrange for a guided tour of Livingstone instead this time of year.
Today you are picked up and transferred to the airport for your flight on to Mfuwe (flight excluded from rate). Drive about 45 minutes to Mfuwe Lodge in time for lunch and a little bit of time to explore and rest before enjoying your first dinner in South Luangwa National Park.
Spend these days going on game drives and walking safaris as you explore South Luangwa National Park. South Luangwa National Park is largely attributed with being the innovator of walking safaris, and you have ample opportunity to discover why they do it so well here. Spend your days wandering the park and watching wildlife on day or night game drives. South Luangwa National Park supports larger herds of giraffe, populations of elephant, zebra, and cape buffaloes along with healthy populations of crocodile and hippo in the rivers. Enjoy your time in one of the six intimate bushcamps and experience South Luangwa. Add a few nights to visit some of the rustic bushcamps in the surrounding areas.

Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!
