Zambia Southern Circuit

An unparalleled blend of opulence and adventure

9 nights

Safari Overview

Enjoy 9 nights in some of our most iconic, luxurious camps in Zambia, including Thorntree River Lodge and Lolebezi. On safari in Zambia, you will experience Africa – wild and untamed. Some of the national parks you’ll visit, included in this curated safari, are best-kept secrets and offer high concentrations of game and spectacular birding.

Start your trip at Thorntree River Lodge, which graces the banks of Zambia’s glorious Zambezi River in Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park. Our Lodge is the perfectly positioned lodge from which to enjoy the cascading spectacle of the nearby Victoria Falls.

Continue your journey to our iconic Lolebezi. Famous for its leopard population and elephant herds, this amazing destination is best experienced on foot with one of African Bush Camps’ experienced guides. Walking through the towering acacia forests, searching for Africa’s famous wildlife, is simply one of life’s unbeatable adventures.

End your journey at Puku Ridge Camp. Set in a remote part of the South Luangwa NP, overlooking a wildlife-rich lagoon where there is seemingly always something to see. The camp was rebuilt completely in 2019 after its purchase from Sanctuary Retreats by Chichele Safaris and is a collaboration with Chiawa Safaris of Chiawa Camp & Old Mondoro repute
