Zambia Safari: Remote Luxury Package

Enjoy a luxurious, authentic, and intimate experience with Zambia. Relax at 2 remote luxury camps and take a variety of safari excursions at your leisure.

This Zambia Safari: Remote Luxury Package was designed for a couple in their 30s who wanted a luxurious, authentic, and intimate experience with Zambia. This was their first trip to Africa, so we arranged a 8-day safari tour that allowed them to relax at 4 remote camps and take a variety of safari excursions at their leisure.

They began with 4 nights in the quiet Lower Zambezi National Park. They stayed at one of Zambia’s luxury resorts: Chiawa Camp. They had an intimate wildlife experience with rooms overlooking the hippo-inhabited waterways and several elephants milling by within touching distance during breakfast. In between expertly guided day and night wildlife safaris, they lounged in their luxury suite, took dips in the pool, and enjoyed a romantic, private dinner on the sand overlooking the Zambezi River.

Their Zambia Safari: Remote Luxury Package continued by flight to their accommodations at the lovely Puku Ridge. They stayed 4 nights at Puku Ridge, located well inside the incredible South Luangwa National Park with an outlook onto a private floodplain and watering hole. This remote and elevated landscape is enriched by the rolling gait of giraffe, the heart-shaped nose of the puku, and the midnight whoop of the hyena. The couple enjoyed safari drives, walking safaris, boat excursions on the Zambezi, and immersive wildlife experiences in a pristine, remote wilderness.

After 8 nights in remote luxury, the couple headed back home with wonderful memories and lots of photos of the magnificent wildlife in Zambia.
