2 Nights

Victoria Falls

Smoke that thunders! That is what the Kolobo tribe who lived by the Victoria Falls two centuries ago once called this seventh wonder of the world. The spray can be seen from miles away. The wide basalt cliff, over which the falls thunder, transforms the Zambezi from a wide placid river into a ferocious torrent cutting through a series of dramatic gorges. A path along the edge of the surrounding rainforest provides you with unparalleled views from various special vantage points. Enjoy diverse activities, from helicopter rides to gentle boat cruises on the Zambezi.

Included activities

Tour Of Victoria Falls

Head out and discover the Smoke that Thunders! This tour will take you to all the highlights surrounding Victoria Falls. Stand at the ideal vantage point overlooking the heart of the mighty waters as they gush and roar. Watch true adventurers go white water rafting in this natural wonder’s rapids. Pack your waterproofs because the closer you get, the more likely you are to experience the spray!

Lower Zambezi

Lower Zambezi National Park lies across the Zambezi River from the historically better known Mana Pools in Zimbabwe. With its floodplains, grasslands and tall forests the valley supports fantastic game densities. Enormous herds of elephant, some up to 100 strong, are often seen at the river’s edge and even swimming across it in order to feed on the grassy islands, where buffalo also graze. Impala are everywhere and kudu, eland, waterbuck, zebra and wildebeest are common. Predators include leopard, lion prides and wild dog packs. You can enjoy diverse safari experiences, with game drives by day and night, excellent walking, as well as fishing, motorboat and canoe trips.

Included activities

Chongwe River Camp: Game Drives, Bush Walks, Boat Safaris, Canoe Safaris, Fishing, Village Visit

At the Chongwe River Camp, experience Africa on truly gripping game drives. Every turn of the steering wheel can bring a new animal into view, big and small. Night drives are a perfect opportunity to see nocturnal animals including civets, elephant shrew, porcupine, and the fierce honey-badger sauntering in their natural habitat. The camp’s guided bush walks reveal a secret world with hidden pathways and walking trails. Indulge in some game viewing at a leisurely pace with the morning and afternoon boat safaris down the Zambezi River. Enjoy a sundowner on the boat and feast your eyes on an array of colorful bird species around as you take in the charm of a spectacular sunset. For the ultimate relaxing experience, join the canoe safari over the Zambezi or Chongwe Rivers or indulge in baiting the legendary tigerfish. A trip into the Chiawa Cultural Village brings to you interesting facets of the Goba people and their culture.

South Luangwa

Experience wild walks! South Luangwa National Park is tropical, wild, beautiful and one of the most stunning national parks in Africa. The concentration of game around South Luangwa River, the park’s backbone, and its lagoons is among the highest in Africa with herds of elephant and buffalo descending the dusty banks to drink. Large crocodiles laze on sandbanks and at dusk hundreds of hippo leave their pools and lumber up the banks to graze. Predators abound with lion, leopard and spotted hyena. Walking safaris originated in this park and with the fantastic guides and scouts, walking is still one of the finest ways to experience this pristine wilderness.

Included activities

Nsolo Bushcamp: Bush Walks

Situated on the banks of the scenic Luwi River, Nsolo Bushcamp is famous for beautiful walking trails in the vicinity. Explore the region on foot with exciting bush walks in the company of experienced and armed guides. Every turn can spring a surprise, and the anticipation really mounts as you spot fresh tracks on the trail. Rave about your adventurous experience of sighting the lion, leopard, or wild dogs. When not tracking a game, you can simply revel in your spectacular surroundings and learn the nuances of the habitat and its occupants from your guides.

Luwi Bushcamp: Bush Walks

Luwi Camp scores high in its leisurely ambience and wilderness quotient, with wild animal sightings a part of everyday life on the camp. The bush walks here give you a priceless chance to get close to Africa’s dangerous predators and abundant vegetation. Watch as the buffalos and hippos waddle in the water, and look up to see a sortie of colorful bee-eaters as they fly on a sortie. The remote camp is surrounded by the African wilderness and the bush walk trails can also lead you to a permanent hippo and croc-filled lagoon. The leisurely pace gives you ample chance to bend, peer, smell, watch, listen, touch – and everything else you wish for a complete experience.

Flight to Lusaka (1 hr)

Lusaka

Lusaka is one of the fastest-growing cities in central Africa, with a sprawling downtown area, high-walled suburbs, busy shanty towns, bustling markets and large industrial areas, bringing together people of many nationalities and making it a bustling center for economic, political and cultural activities. With the focus around a sixties style grand avenue of tower blocks and surrounded by shanties, the town really has very little to offer in the way of sights and yet can be a fascinating place to explore. The main reason to stay here, however, is to catch an early departing flight.

International departure

Discover an untamed wilderness in Africa’a adventure capital! Enjoy exhilarating adventure sports in Victoria Falls and a variety of aquatic and overland activities amid the floodplains, grasslands and forests of Lower Zambezi National Park. The highlight of your trip is your scintillating walking safaris in South Luangwa – armed with fantastic guides and scouts, experience the pristine wilderness at your own pace.

What Our Guests Say

Our travel coordinator, Jeniffer Korir, was fabulous with planning our trip. She listened carefully to what we were interested in and arranged travel, destinations, and activities that aligned with our interests. She did a great job matching our budget and interests to availability of activities, and the destination. She developed a thorough itinerary and advised us on all aspects of the trip down to the when and how much to tip. When our flight was canceled, Jeniffer proactively noticed it and made other arrangements, including adjusting all of our other travel plans. I would highly recommend using enchanting travels for booking once in a lifetime vacations; they are experienced with the destinations and save you lots of time with doing your own research and making your own travel plans. Plus, they are available while you were at your destination to answer questions and communicate plans. We had an amazing vacation!

I cannot recommend Enchanting Travels highly enough. From the sales process to the pre-planning to the onsite support and follow-up after the trip: they are a first-class organization. If you have a trip you are thinking of taking to a country you’re not sure about where to even begin planning: let Enchanting Travels do the work for you. They are fantastic to work with. We will travel with them again.

Dear Enchanting, My husband and I wish to commend you on the fantastic job you did planning and organizing our recent trip to South Africa and Victoria Falls in Zambia! This experience has been by far the greatest trip we’ve been on. From safaris in Madikwe National Park to retreat in Victoria Falls, to a cosmopolitan stay in Cape Town and finishing off with a three night ride on the luxurious Rovos Rail…we can’t say enough about this trip of a lifetime! I don’t think it could have been better! Thank you.

We have just experienced and enjoyed our third trip with Enchanting. We were blown away by the amazing accommodations, the interesting and varied itinerary, and the fact that nothing was left to chance. The drivers and guides were always on time and enjoyable. Our trip coordinator Ntswaki, went over and above with little extras, and checking up on us as things changed day by day.
