A family vacation in Zambia will provide both you and your family with some fantastic safari memories. Zambia has some of the most luxurious lodges for the perfect African safari.
The Royal Livingstone, on the Zambian side of Victoria Falls brings a new level of luxury and sophistication to this world-famous region. This comfortable modern, well equipped hotel is an excellent base to see the waterfall and to enjoy the many activities on the river and around Victoria Falls.
The bedrooms are two-storey clusters inspired by the grand estate houses of a bygone era. Each cluster comprises ten en-suite air-conditioned rooms with private balconies and terraces that offer spectacular views of the great river and beyond.
Each room offers a quiet retreat from the ruggedness of Africa, with large shaded verandas and open spaces cooled by swirling fans and tall shutters. The travellers bar and lounge is a place where guests can relax under thatched shade, decorated in greens, creams and ebony. There is a large pool and the restaurants are very good, serving international cuisine.
While you are at Victoria Falls, you can enjoy a wide range of activities, including flights across the waterfall by helicopter and light aircraft, white water rafting, canoeing, sundowner cruises and safaris. Guests can also walk to the mile wide waterfall, which can be viewed from several vantage points along the network of pathways. Victoria Falls offers a wide range of activities and sights for both adults and children.
In the morning you will be transferred to Livingstone Airport to board a scheduled flight departing at 1050 to Lusaka. Arrive at 1155 and connect with a further scheduled flight to Jeki in the Lower Zambezi National Park. On arrival you will be met and transferred to Sausage Tree camp where you stay for four nights (fully inclusive of meals and activities).
Sausage Tree safari camp accommodates a maximum of just twelve guests in six unique luxury Bedouin-style tents, each set on its own elevated timber platform with wonderful views of the wide, slow-moving Zambezi River. The spacious and comfortable tents are insect proof and have double or twin beds and there is a silent generator for lighting and beautiful private open-air en-suite bathrooms. The safari camp also serves excellent food, which includes champagne bush breakfasts and outdoor barbecues under the stars.
The Lower Zambezi National Park is set on a vast area of the floodplains of the half mile wide Zambezi River, an area with a wide range of beautiful trees including baobab, sausage and acacia. While parts of the floodplain are flat there are also hills and river valleys leading down to the Zambezi and on the edge of the plain is a shimmering escarpment.
The wildlife is prolific with excellent herds of elephant, large herds of buffalo sometimes numbering 300, around ten types of antelope and a range of other plains game including zebra and wildebeest. Sausage Tree Camp is also a very good base for predator spotting and there are lion, leopard and wild dog. The birdlife too, is rich and rewarding with over 300 species including fish eagles, storks, herons and kingfishers.
One of the principal attractions of Sausage Tree camp is the wide range of game viewing activities that can be enjoyed. The highly expert guides will take you walking with an armed scout and tracking animals on foot through the bush learning a huge amount about the flora and fauna as you go. You might like to spend the latter part of the afternoon paddling a stable canoe on the Zambezi watching animals coming down to drink and interact by the water's edge. The camp's open-topped vehicles would also take you further afield and at night a spotlight is used to see nocturnal creatures such as civet, porcupine and leopard on the prowl.
After your morning activity you will be returned to the airstrip to board a scheduled flight to Lusaka, Zambia. On arrival you will be met and transferred to Lilayi Lodge where you stay for one night (bed and breakfast).
Lilayi Lodge, only twenty minutes drive from Lusaka, is designed in traditional style with thatched rondavels, with one larger building that accommodates the lounge, bar and dining area. Set in attractive parkland with a large swimming pool, the whole complex is designed for comfort and relaxation with particular attention to excellent cuisine.
Of the comfortable twelve chalets, six are en suite open plan with double bedroom, lounge and fully equipped bathroom. The other six have two double bedrooms, each with shower bathrooms and a common lounge.
Safari game viewing can be arranged from the lodge on foot, vehicle and horseback. Trips can be taken to the neighbouring tribal area to see the lifestyle of the local people and to view the spectacular Zambezi valley from the top of the escarpment. Zambia provides a perfect setting for a luxury safari, with a wide range of remote locations, in the heart of Africa.
In the morning you will be transferred to Lusaka Airport to board a scheduled flight departing at 0845 to London's Heathrow Airport, arriving at 1800 (local time)
