This seven day safari takes you to two of Zambia's absolute highlights.
You'll begin with a three-night stay in South Luangwa National Park, where you'll be able to enjoy the plethora of wildlife, as well as a famed night game drive and the Luangwa Walking Safari.
Then, for your final three nights, you'll go to Victoria Falls to explore the falls and take part in some spectacular activities including a helicopter trip and a sunset boat tour on the Zambezi River, among others.
The Luangwa Valley is the birthplace of the African walking safari and offers possibly the most authentic bush experience in Africa. Walks are led by knowledgeable and passionate guides, escorted by an armed national park scout.
Driving safari gets visitors deep into the remote corners of the park to see its animal inhabitants in their natural surroundings. Four of the Big Five — lion, leopard, elephant, and buffalo – are among the attractions. Hyena, wild dog, giraffe, wildebeest, zebra, numerous antelopes, and hippo can also be seen.
Night game drives offer the chance to catch sight of elusive nocturnal wildlife among the bushveld, such as civets, genets, hyenas, and leopards. Stunning bird species that only make an appearance at night include nightjars and an amazing variety of owls. Watching predators hunt is a visceral and haunting experience.
A full-body spa treatment can offer some well-deserved relaxation between safaris, including stress-relieving massages, reflexology and moisturising wraps.
Victoria Falls is considered one of the world's seven natural wonders and one of Zambia’s most breath-taking views. This guided tour is a great way to learn about how the falls were formed and the local customs surrounding them, concluding with a visit to a local art and crafts centre.
Enjoy the spectacular beauty of the Zambezi River. Flocks of birds skim the waterline as the sun sets behind the African skyline. Guests may see a variety of wildlife including hippo, crocodile, elephant, and different bird species. The cruise includes appetisers, beer, wine, local spirits, and soft drinks.
Experience the Flight of Angels, an unforgettable helicopter flight over the spectacular Victoria Falls, Batoka Gorge, Zambezi River, and the lush Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park. With Batoka Sky, guests can choose from three magnificent scenic flights; the short 15-minute flight, the 22-minute Gorge flight and the longer 30-minute scenic flight.

My husband and I were on a 10-day trip to Zambia organized perfectly by Absolute Zambia Safaris.
We visited the lower Zambezi national park, South Luanga Park and Victoria Falls. The entire Iterinary along with flights and road transport whenever needed well planned as according to our requirement. Would recommend their guidance for anyone looking for a wonderful holiday in Zambia.
Fantastic planning and arranging of this trip by Robert of Absolute Zambia Safaris — everything was perfect from start to finish. We were picked up on time for all activities, the hotel was great — good food, nice pool, wifi, etc and good location, the white water rafting was great, Angel Pool was very much enjoyed by everyone and the sunset cruise was almost empty — so we had the entire upper deck of the boat to ourselves. The food on the boat was tremendous, and the sunset magnificent. Everyone said this was possibly the best holiday ever. We are very grateful to Absolute Zambia whose flawless organising of all of this made it happen.
Absolute Zambia Safaris organised a 2 week trip in Zambia for us — to South Luangwa, Lower Zambezi and Livingstone. We cannot thank them enough for their wonderful organisation, thoughtful communication and great value for money. This was our first visit to Africa and they made it a breeze, with excellent choices of accomodation, transport, and drivers etc. At all times we were well looked after and had absolutely no concerns regarding safety or anything else for that matter. Thanks so much Absolute Zambia, we will get back to you for our next holiday in Africa.
