Description of Lower Zambezi and Kafue National Park holiday, Zambia
With so much to see in Africa and even just in Zambia it can be tempting to spend two or three nights in each area and try to include as many areas as possible during the finite time you can be away for. However, in doing so you may miss on building a deep and authentic connection with an area, the animals that call at home as well as the camp you are staying in and its staff. This itinerary is available seasonally from the 1st May to the 31st October.
We have designed this itinerary as remedy, not only does it include two fantastic camps that have managed to blend rustic luxury with a pure safari experience of old, but it allows you to spend five nights in each area.
The first camp is the fantastic Kutali Camp in the Lower Zambezi National Park. This park boasts some of the best scenery and wildlife sightings to match of any park in Africa and as well as this you have the flexibility to explore by game drive vehicle, walking safari, boat safari or canoe trip.
The second camp, Musekese, is located in the heart of the vast Kafue National Park, it was the first camp to open in this area and thus helps to protect a vast area of the park, previously forgotten about. Again you have a range of activities on offer to explore this rugged park and you can be sure you will do so in almost complete exclusivity.
Both camps are powered by solar panels at the camps.

CARBON REDUCTIONThis itinerary has been designed to champion slower travel by only including two different areas across 10 nights, it therefore cuts down on flying and transport as compared to an itinerary which moves to a different camp every 2 or 3 nights.
Both camps in the itinerary run exclusively on solar power.
Human powered activities are available at both camps, including walking safaris and canoe safaris therefore cutting down on the emission produced by safari vehicles.
ENVIRONMENT AND WILDLIFE
Both camps take time to sort their waste and dispose of selected products outside of the wildlife reserves, however before this step they actively procure their produce in a sustainably conscious way, home-grown vegetables, locally sourced meats - all to minimise the impacts of plastic waste and excess.
Musekese Camp, the second camp in the itinerary funds a charity called Musekese Conservation to provide resources and technical support for law enforcement, research and community based natural resource management. The goal is to contribute to the preservation of wildlife and habitat, whilst promoting sustainable livelihoods for the communities living within and around the Kafue National Park.
