Afternoon game drives extend into the night for possible sightings of the nocturnal wildlife. Back at the lodge, you will be served a delicious dinner either at the central dining area or in an alfresco seating under the stars during a private dinner. Enjoy post-dinner drinks around the campfire before returning to your suite for an early night's rest.

Day 2 - 3: South Luangwa National Park

An early wakeup call and a warm cup of coffee or tea will prepare you for a day of adventure in the bush. The South Luangwa is the home of the walking safari, a superb way to encounter the flora and smaller creatures of the bush. After your morning safari activity, you will return to the camp for a delicious brunch before enjoying some free time at your leisure.

Afternoon tea time will be served before you embark on a late afternoon game drive that lasts long enough to view the nocturnal creatures of the bush. Dinner is served back at the camp and can be accompanied by a selection of cocktails and drinks.

Once your taste buds have been satisfied, spend some time around the campfire as you listen to the sounds of an active bush and the sights of a ceiling of endless stars. A comfortable night's rest awaits back at your luxury suite.

Day 4 - 6: Lower Zambezi National Park

After breakfast, you will be transported to your new destination - Sausage Tree Camp in the Lower Zambezi National Park.

Mornings at this Zambia safari camp start with an early wakeup call and a quick breakfast, before the morning activity, which is a game drive, walking safari and bird watching opportunities, or a canoe excursion. Its position on the banks of the Zambezi River makes this Zambia safari lodge the ideal place for river safaris in boats and canoes, as well as fishing trips.

After the morning activity, return to camp for lunch and some leisurely time. Choose a book at the library or enjoy an optional spa treatment before meeting your guide for afternoon tea. Afternoons are spent fishing for the famous Zambezi Tiger fish, or navigating through the bush in a specialized safari vehicle in search of the nocturnal wildlife.

Sunset cruises offer the perfect background to enjoy sundowners and an amazing African sunset. Return to pre-dinner drinks around a campfire, before being served a combination between traditional African and classic dishes.

Dining can take place in a variety of optional places, such as the open air dining tent, on a private island in the middle of the Zambezi River, deep in the bush, or in the privacy of your private deck.
