View itinerary
- Day 1
  Lusaka
  Land in Zambia's capital and take a quick 30-minute transfer to your city center hotel. Use this day to adjust to the time zone and climate. Pack light clothes that dry quickly since Zambia gets hot during the day but cools off at night.
- Days 2-3
  Kafue National Park
  Take a 5-hour drive west from Lusaka to Zambia's largest national park. Stay at Mukambi Lodge on the Kafue River with four observation decks for wildlife spotting. Book game drives for early morning or late afternoon when wildlife is most active. The riverside location offers great sunset views. Bring insect repellent since mosquitoes come out at dusk.
- Days 4-5
  Busanga Plains
  Travel north to Busanga Plains, the highlight of Kafue. The roads are rough but worth it. Morning game drives are best for seeing lions hunting in the misty plains. Since the camps are unfenced, always listen to your guide's safety instructions about wildlife.
- Day 6
  Mongu Transfer
  Take a 6-hour drive to Mongu, the main town in western Zambia. Bring motion sickness medicine if you need it. Stay at the Crossroads Hotel which is simple but clean. Use your free afternoon to buy supplies before heading to more remote areas.
- Days 7-8
  Liuwa Plains
  Getting to Liuwa Plains involves crossing a pontoon and a 2.5-hour drive. You can see Africa's second-largest wildebeest migration here. Stay at Katoyana Campsite but bring drinking water and camping gear if it's not included. The area is known for excellent hyena viewing at night.
- Days 9-10
  Southern Liuwa Plains
  Move to Kwale Campsite in southern Liuwa. This area is perfect for bird watching so pack binoculars and a bird guide. There's no cell service or electricity here so bring power banks and download maps you can use offline.
- Day 11
  Sioma Falls
  Drive back to Mongu then continue to Sioma Falls. The campsite is basic but offers incredible views. Plan to photograph the falls in the morning light.
- Days 12-14
  Livingstone & Victoria Falls
  End your trip in Livingstone near Victoria Falls. Stay at the comfortable Zambezi Waterfront Lodge. Visit the falls before 10 AM to avoid crowds and see rainbows in the mist. The falls are fullest from March to May but can be very low from October to December.
- Day 15
  Departure
  Book an afternoon flight since morning fog can delay departures. Use your extra time to explore the city or shop at local markets.
