Zambia - Zambezi River and Luiwa Plains
This remote park in the far west is pristine wilderness, which to the ardent bush lover, makes it its biggest attraction and the rewards are great. The game is spread out across the plains and takes some driving around to find. But to come upon a vast herd of blue wildebeest, a prowling wild dog, a dozing pride of lion in this forgotten piece of Africa is especially fascinating because of its completely natural and uncommercialised state. The bird life is abundant and the very dramatic storms and lightning rising up on the horizon, contrasting with the green and gold grasslands create views of spectacular magnitude and fantastic photographic opportunities.
Team: We have taken great care in putting together a team with all the right equipment to make camping a truly unforgettable, comfortable experience, while still being in the wild. Anthony the tour leader is supported by Sean in the utilities vehicle with chef and assistants as required. We will guide you to some breath-taking destinations with all the vehicles being issued with two-way radios to ensure constant contact and safety at all times.
