Itinerary

1. Day 1- Reach South Luangwa National Park

   • Arrive at Mfuwe Airport, where you will meet your English-Speaking Zambian guide personally, who will take you to your lodge or camp to relax and unpack. If you arrive in the morning, you will be going on an afternoon/night drive together, and the guide will be meeting you at tea time.
   • Meet the children who will be accompanying you and learn more about them and their life stories, and tell them about yours.
   • After a short briefing, you will be on your way. Stop at a scenic spot for "sundowners", where you can enjoy snacks and refreshments while watching the gorgeous African sunset before continuing your night drive.
   • Return to your lodge/camp by 8:00 p.m., right in time for dinner.

2. Day 2- Explore South Luangwa National Park

   • Interact & know more about each other, and let the guide know what type of animals interest you and the children the most.
   • Use checklists and go over the animals you want to see. The guide will be the interpreter between you and the children if they are not fluent in English and will share as many facts about the park and the wildlife as possible with all of you.
   • Stop at around 09:30 am for a tea/coffee and cookies break by the river or in the bush.
   • Head back to your lodge/camp by 11:00 am to enjoy lunch and relax.
   • The afternoon/evening drive will start after tea time, around 3:00 p.m. The guide will meet you at your lodge/camp.
   • Discover tons of animals, such as elephants, lions, leopards, antelopes, buffaloes and more on your afternoon/night drive. Retake a halt for refreshments at sundown. 
   • Drive back to the lodge/camp by 8:00 p.m. and have dinner.

3. Day 3- Cultural Immersion

   • Have your usual tea/coffee and cookies by 9:30 am and drive to Drophill, a lovely Zambian restaurant in the village, for lunch.

   • Return to your campsite by 8:00 p.m. for dinner.

4. Day 4- Leisure Day

   The last full day with the guide and the kids! By then, you will have shared plenty of stories, so you are encouraged to ask as many remaining questions as you may have!
