This is the perfect safari to experience a variety of different types of game activity. Your experienced guide will get you as close as possible to witness the native wildlife on one of the many walking activities in this fascinating destination.

Canoeing and boat trips along the magnificent Zambezi River may reward you with sightings of elephants, giraffes, zebras and of course the fascinating hippos.

There is also the traditional open vehicle safari which will afford you the opportunity to see a host of wildlife including big cats.

Staying at Sindabezi Island Camp in Livingstone is a treat which will make your experience a little more rustic as this is the only real ‘bushcamp’ in the area.

During the wetter months of November to May, some of these unique camps are inaccessible due to the high water levels. The safari can still operate, however, alternative accommodation may be used in some locations. Travel during these months can also offer exceptional value for money.
