Itinerary Details

Day-by-Day


Day 1 Lilongwe to Mfuwe

This morning your guide will collect you from your residence/hotel in Lilongwe.

It's about two hours to the border between Malawi and Zambia where we fill out border procedures. This can take up to an hour. Here you pay for your visas into Zambia directly.

After the border, you'll continue to Mfuwe —South Luangwa National Park. You'll stop for a packed picnic lunch just outside of Chipata and continue the last two hours to your lodge.


You'll arrive mid-afternoon in South Luangwa and relax on the edge of the Luangwa River. No activity has been scheduled for this afternoon, but you can book and pay for additional activities directly with your lodge.

You'll enjoy dinner and an early evening before your first scheduled activity the next morning!

Day 2 Safari in South Luangwa National Park

It's an early morning wake-up call in camp.

Tea, coffee, and a light breakfast are served and you head out to make it into the park as it opens. Morning game drives are a great opportunity to search for wildlife either waking up for the day or heading back home after a night out.

Your drive is about 4 hours this morning and you stop halfway through for a tea and coffee break in the park.

You'll slowly return then to lunch at the lodge.

You'll relax in the heat of the day whilst most animals find shelter from the sun. There's a pool and a stocked bar. Your guide is available to take you into town and visit the shops and projects.

Late afternoon, it's tea, coffee, and cake time before heading out for your afternoon/evening drive. You'll stop halfway for a sundowner and slowly return to the lodge on a night drive to see if we can find those elusive evening animals heading out for their nightly activities.

You'll return to the lodge for dinner and sleep!

Day 3 Explore South Luangwa National Park

Another perfect day out in the park to explore the area.

Your itinerary today runs the same as the day before, with an early morning and evening game drive, exploring different areas, or catching up with wildlife that you saw the day before.

You'll soak in those last few rays of Zambian sunlight by the pool in the middle of the day or head out to purchase those last few gift items for friends and family back home.


You will enjoy your last night falling asleep to the calls of the wild!
