The Experience
What your day looks like
Experience the wonders of Zambia on this 15-day tour. Have a real camping feeling sleeping in safari tents in different locations of the region and brace yourself for the magnificent views along the way and cross the Barotse flood plains to the Liuwa Plains National Park. This is part of the park’s attraction: around 3660km² of untouched Africa. Most of this is a vast honey-colored plain of grass, with just the occasional water pan, island of raffia palms, or a small tree belt interrupting the scenery. Have views of beautiful lakes, rivers, savanna, wildlife, and much more.
