Africa Expeditions

River Journeys in South Luangwa National Park in Zambia is a magical 7-night safari that takes place during the Emerald Season when the Luangwa River is at its fullest, thus giving rise to some exceptional boating.

This 10 day itinerary will immerse you're senses and take you through one of the most rewarding safari destinations in Africa. Kick starting the journey on the banks of the Mighty Zambezi, home of the Victoria Falls to the Lower Zambezi National Park and into the heart of South Luangwa National Park.

Galloping in the open plains with a herd of zebra or walking quietly by a herd of grazing elephant – riding safaris are an incredibly unique way to explore areas off the beaten track.

Whether it be a morning ride, an alternative activity to the usual game drive or setting off on a week-long mobile riding safari – guests are provided with the rare chance of getting up close to wildlife without affecting their behaviour or intruding in their space.

Unrivalled Experience - Upmarket, exclusive and bespoke safari.
