Cape Town and Zambia Safari Adventure

This Cape Town and Zambia Safari Adventure package gives you the ultimate experience of cosmopolitan Cape Town and Zambia wilderness. Visit 2 of our favorite intimate safari camps for an unforgettable adventure.

This Cape Town and Zambia Safari Adventure package gives you the ultimate experience of Zambia wilderness. It was designed for a group of well-traveled friends who had been on safari, but were traveling to Zambia for the first time. We started them in Cape Town and then sent them to 2 of our favorite intimate safari camps for an unforgettable adventure.

They began their Cape Town and Zambia Safari Adventure in Cape Town, which is special for its unique blend of natural beauty, including the iconic Table Mountain, vibrant cultural diversity, and rich history, making it one of the most captivating cities in the world. The friends did a fun walking food tour of the city and visited the Cape Peninsula via sidecar. They spent one day just exploring the bustling V&A Waterfront.

Next on their Cape Town and Zambia Safari Adventure, they traveled to to Anabezi Luxury Tented Camp. There, they enjoyed more game drives and walking safaris to search for the Big 5. Since 2 of the friends were avid fishers, they had a day of fishing in the Zambezi River, one of the most spectacular freshwater fishing destinations in the world, while the others explored their surrounds. They capped off each evening with a delicious boma dinner under the stars.

Continuing their Cape Town and Zambia Safari Adventure, they were transferred to Sungani Lodge, nestled in Zambia’s remote South Luangwa National Park. This lodge offered the friends an exclusive and luxurious safari experience with breathtaking views of the Luangwa River. The lodge combines elegant design with sustainability. They spent 4 nights at the lodge. During their time, they did game drives, had a guided walk, and did some birdwatching, all while experiencing the rich wildlife and untouched beauty of South Luangwa National Park.

After 12 nights on a fabulous wildlife vacation, their Cape Town and Zambia Safari Adventure came to an end, and they were transferred to the airport to begin their trip home.
