Bush and Lake Experience
Wilderness Adventure and Peaceful Remoteness, Zambia and Malawi

Walking safari on the Bush and Lake Experience

Our 10 night Bush & Lake Experience package allows you to combine some of the remotest places in Africa and enjoy the wilderness of the Luangwa Valley in Zambia and the peaceful remoteness of Lake Malawi.

After your arrival in Lusaka, Zambia, you connect to your flight to Mfuwe in the Luangwa Valley. The first days are spent at Kafunta River Lodge, which offers the opportunity to discover the game rich Mfuwe area. Game activities at Kafunta River Lodge include game viewing in open vehicles and unique night drives offering the opportunity to view nocturnal animals. The central location of Kafunta River Lodge allows us to explore vast areas of South Luangwa National Park.

A 2 hour safari drive from Kafunta River Lodge through remote wilderness takes you to Island Bush Camp in the very South of the national park.
