Itinerary

  1. Day 1

    Lusaka to Kafue

    Your driver meets you at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport in Lusaka and takes you by private car toward your lodge outside Kafue National Park. The drive itself is part of the experience, moving from the city into open bush country. Once you arrive at the lodge, you can settle in and relax, or if you're not too tired, join an afternoon activity to get your first taste of the park.

    Accommodation
    Lodge (Mukambi Safari Lodge)

    Kafue

    This is a full day in Kafue National Park where you'll pick your activities. Morning and afternoon game drives let you search for elephants, lions, leopards, wild dogs, cheetahs, hippos, crocodiles, and various antelope species, plus plenty of birds. Walking safaris and boat trips on the Kafue River are also options. After lunch you'll have downtime on the outdoor terrace overlooking the water before heading back out for more wildlife spotting. Dinner happens under the stars.

  3. Day 3

    Kafue to Busanga Plains

    A 5-hour game drive takes you north into Busanga Plains, the remote heart of Kafue National Park. Few other vehicles come through here, so you get real isolation and quiet. After settling into your luxury safari tent, you can rest on the wooden deck or jump into an afternoon game drive if you want to start exploring the surrounding landscape right away.

    Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
    Accommodation

  4. Day 4

    Busanga Plains

    The vast flood plain of Busanga Plains opens up with multiple chances to see wildlife and birds. Walking safaris start early, just after sunrise, to beat the heat and move quietly through the plains around camp. Game drives happen at sunrise and again at night. The area draws large numbers of birds, particularly once rainy season ends and plants attract more species.

    Busanga Plains

    Another day in this untouched wilderness starts with a morning game drive hunting for lions, cheetahs, leopards, and wild dogs. Later in the afternoon you can try an electric bicycle safari or go birding, or simply stay at camp by the pool or in your tent watching the plains. As darkness comes, you'll have time to sit with the stars and think back on your time in Africa.

    This trip was incredible from start to finish. Wendy, at Agate Travel, was always prompt in replying to my questions during the planning and booking stages. Our guides, Mia and Valentin, and our driver, Julian were fantastic--I can't say enough good things about them. I would highly recommend this trip and this tour company.

    · June 24th, 2025
    This was a very enjoyable trip. Our driver in Morandava was excellent and really good at driving on the bad roads. A truly memorable trip. He had limited English but we really enjoyed our time with him. He was helpful in giving advice in relation to how much we should pay for things in Morandava. Only negative was with our driver in Antananarivo. He collected us very early from our hotel to go to the palace. We arrived at the hotel at 1am and he picked us up at 10am. We would have no issue with this but for he had no plans with what to do with us! We went shopping and to the palace and finished at 1pm. Our flight was until midnight and he had no suggestions of what to do. Ultimately we went for lunch and more shopping. We finished at 4pm and he tried to drop us to the airport! 8 and half hours before our flight. He dropped us off in a Ibis hotel for a drink to pass time but we were so bored we went to the airport for around 7. We couldn't check into our flight for hours. I also paid extra for a night transfer because of our late flight. It's annoying because we could've stayed in the hotel and enjoyed the pool longer in the morning instead of starting at 10. The itinerary also states two dinners included but we received only one.
