Sanctuary Sussi & Chuma, Victoria Falls

Marvel at the awe-inspiring Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, before embarking on an outstanding wilderness experience in the South Luangwa, home of the ‘walking safari’. The area is widely considered one of Africa’s finest and most unspoiled wildlife reserves and it makes for an exciting contrast with the Lower Zambezi where you’ll see game from safari vehicles, get up close on foot and float gently past herds which frequent the river and its banks. Unspoilt natural beauty and abundant game make these two areas unparalleled for a wildlife adventure.
Journey Highlights
On arrival transfer to your beautiful lodge located on the banks of the Zambezi River in the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, only a short drive from the world-famous Victoria Falls.
Sanctuary Sussi & Chuma
Today is at leisure at Sussi & Chuma, discovering the beauty of the Zambezi. Experience a guided tour of the Zambian side of Victoria Falls, a visit to Nakatindi village and the local school, a game drive in the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, walking safaris, canoeing, fishing, or an early morning or sunset cruise on the river. There are also a range of activities available at additional cost including whitewater rafting, helicopter flights over the falls, or a visit to Livingstone Museum.

Fly to Mfuwe in the east of the country. You are met and transferred to Puku Ridge Camp, situated in the vast and spectacular South Luangwa National Park. Overlooking a floodplain and wildlife-rich lagoon, Puku Ridge comprises eight luxurious tents that exude safari chic with light natural timbers and beautiful textiles, as well as luxury appointments including sumptuous bedding, a balcony, plunge pool, a starbed, bathtub and indoor and outdoor shower.

Enjoy two full days exploring the magnificent South Luangwa. This world-renowned wildlife haven supports large populations of Thornicroft’s Giraffe, and herds of elephant and buffalo often several hundred strong. The vegetation too is diverse and keen spotters are rewarded with incredible sightings of lion, elephant, giraffe and any number of antelopes from bushbuck and puku to Greater Kudu and impala. Each day enjoy a morning and afternoon game drive with sundowners and a thrilling night drive. Or, as the South Luangwa is ‘home’ of the walking safari, head out on foot with your guide to see the bush from a different perspective.

Fly to the Lower Zambezi National Park, an area of stunning wilderness where you are met and transferred by vehicle and boat to Chiawa Camp. The first safari lodge established in this reserve, Chiawa is situated under a grove of evergreen Mahogany trees on the banks of the Zambezi River and features light and spacious safari tents under thatch, each fronted by a raised timber deck with relaxing daybeds.
Chiawa Camp | Meals: BLD
Spend the next three days soaking up the atmosphere and surroundings of Chiawa Camp, which offers outstanding cuisine, service and of course, abundant wildlife. Game concentrates in the corridor between the steep escarpment and river, and the camp’s viewing platform in a quiet corner offers a wonderful vantage point. Activities at Chiawa include day and night drives, walking safaris, motorboat cruises and canoe trips to uncover some of the park’s 50 mammal and 400 bird species.
