This luxurious safari spends 7 nights in the middle of the bush, staying at two lovely camps in Lower Zambezi National Park – here you will have a variety of activities on offer from 4WD game drives to walking and river safaris; it's a great trip for keen safari-goers who wish to explore the park while enjoying superb accommodation.

Note that the bushcamp, Old Mondoro, only opens from May to October, when Zambia's weather is generally fine and dry. This safari is not possible during the rest of the year.
