Three Rivers:
A Zambezi Adventure
"This generation can only reach this generation...”
- David Livingstone
Since David Livingstone first brought tales of the Zambezi River, Zambia to the western world, it has fascinated and enthralled. Three Rivers: A Zambezi Adventure delivers on both those counts.
The great river along with two of its major tributaries – the .Luangwa and the Kafue - is the primal home of Nature’s abundance: from giant Baobabs towering over Elephants to cryptic Leopards lurking in the shadows of dusk.
With the expert guidance of Grant Nel, these three rivers provide the backdrop to an exhilarating adventure.
Once a country with little commitment to its wild places, Zambia has emerged over the last two decades with impeccable conservation credentials.
After a brief stop in Lusaka to catch a charter flight, your adventure starts as the dust of Lower Zambezi National Park settles on your boots. Small intimate camps nestled on the banks of the Zambezi, will be your base from which to walk, paddle and drive through this idyllic wilderness where predators abound.
The next stop is South Luangwa National Park – bisected by the meandering Luangwa River, this park is a unique and isolated ecosystem that provides sanctuary to a myriad of wildlife.
Birthplace of the modern walking safari, there are few better places to step out into the wild and get close to Nature.
With one of the highest densities of leopard in Africa, it is your best chance to catch a glimpse (or spend a while) with this elusive cat.
The Kafue River catchment is one of the biggest contributors to the Zambezi’s annual flow and much of it is protected within Zambia’s largest conserved space – Kafue National Park.
From magnificent Miombo Woodlands to the expansive Busanga plains, Kafue’s variety of habitats has resulted in an explosion of biodiversity and density not seen in too many places.
Here your adventure will explore the river, the forests, and the plains to discover and marvel at the bounty within.
