South Africa & Zambia by Air

Luxury. Convenience. Exclusivity.

What makes this Private Safari truly iconic is the inclusion of Mfuwe Lodge in the South Luangwa National Park in Zambia.

You also have the unique chance to see a resident herd of elephant strolling through the reception area of the lodge in search of delicious fruit from the Wild Mango tree!

On this Luxury Private Safari you will also visit the Kruger National Park for abundant game viewings, the spectacular Victoria Falls to relax and unwind and the cosmopolitan city of Cape Town to end this spectacular Safari.

Mfuwe Lodge
Mfuwe Lodge
Award-winning safari lodge set in the most prolific game area of the South Luangwa

The lodge is situated in the South Luangwa National Park, which is towards the north-eastern border of Zambia. The lodge has been hand-picked for this itinerary as commercial flights cannot land near the area and road transfers are long and tedious, making travel in a private turbo-prop aircraft ideal as you can land right on the lodge’s airstrip. This region of the park is renowned for its prolific game - giraffe, hippos, buffalo, antelope, and crocodile are constant visitors to Mfuwe Lodge's lagoon. Each year at Mfuwe Lodge whole families of elephants have been regular guests, visiting between late October and mid-December to feast on the fallen fruits from the large Wild Mango (Cordyla africana) tree in the lodge grounds. So don’t be alarmed if a herd of elephants make their way through the reception area!

The Victoria Falls

Here, the Zambezi River plummets over a cliff and into the Boiling Pot before flowing through a series of gorges. The Devil’s Pool, a natural infinity pool, is on the edge of a sheer drop. The surrounding Zambezi National Park is home to white rhinos and elephants.

Cape Town
Cape Town
