Spend two full days on game drives in the South Luangwa Valley. You will stay at a remote and exclusive bushcamp, situated on a prime stretch of the Kapamba River in an untouched corner of the park.

The safari activities at the Bushcamps are generally organised in the morning and late afternoon with some time to relax in camp during the heat of the day. An early breakfast (around 6am) is taken before starting out, and a brunch (around 11am) will be arranged either back at camp or at a viewpoint in the bush. In the afternoon your safari guide will take a drinks order before setting off (around 4pm) - as sun sets you will stop for `sundowners' at a convenient viewpoint. The remainder of the game drive will take place with a flashlight as the nocturnal wildlife such as hyena and genet makes an appearance. Return to the lodge for dinner (around 8pm).
