DAY 1: LIVINGSTONE
A representative of The Safari Company will meet you at Livingstone Airport. The Lodge is situated on the northern edge of the Park, where luxurious tree houses hide discreetly amongst giant ebony trees on a sweeping bend of the Zambezi River. The Park is best known for its giraffe and white rhino but also boasts buffalo, zebra, sable, eland, wildebeest, migratory elephant and many other species.   During the next two days your activities will include: game drives with experienced guides, visits to the Falls themselves and an optional choice of all the 'adrenaline' extras for which the area is famous. Overnight Sussi & Chuma Lodge.

DAY 2: LIVINGSTONE - THE VICTORIA FALLS
Another day of excitement and romance on the banks of Africa's most spectacular river. Overnight Sussi & Chuma Lodge.

DAY 3: SOUTH LUANGWA NATIONAL PARK
Transfer to Livingstone airport for your flight to Mfuwe. The transfer from Mfuwe to Chichele Lodge takes approximately 1 hour but don't expect to get bored!  The entire journey is a safari in itself as we pass through the unique South Luangwa National Park on our way to the Lodge.  You could see elephant or even lion so stay alert! The Lodge has a magnificent hilltop site with sumptuous, air-conditioned accommodation. A turn of the century safari lodge atmosphere completes the picture.  
Experts have called South Luangwa one of the greatest wildlife sanctuaries in the world, not surprisingly since the concentrations of game around the Luangwa River and its ox-bow lagoons are dramatic. In addition the topography of the area makes it ideal for walking safaris allowing guests to explore the river and its tributaries in the care of an experienced guide. The Park is noted for its big game species particularly leopard, lion and elephant and a whole host of antelope species. Overnight Chichele Lodge Presidential Lodge.

DAY 4 & 5: SOUTH LUANGWA NATIONAL PARK
Two more days spent walking and driving in this special sanctuary. Overnight Chichele Presidential Lodge.
