If you love to startle and delight your family with once-in-a-lifetime experiences, we have one word for you: Safari! It's out of the ordinary, but completely doable. Classic Journey's family safari to Africa's finest wildlife preserves in Zambia is unlike anything they've ever dreamed of. Together, you'll stroll with elephants in the bush and go tooth-counting at a crocodile farm. On walking and driving safaris, you'll see everything from hippos to impalas and lions, up close and personal. You'll go island hopping in the river, zipline across or rappel down the walls of the Zambezi gorge, and learn how to track big game. And it's not just wildlife. You get an amazing look at real life too. The kids learn tribal drumming techniques in the home of a village chief, play soccer with students at a local school, and meet leading conservationists. Whether you're boating in the spray of the world's most impressive waterfalls or barbecuing in the glow of a spectacular sunset, you can count on Classic Journey to look out for the different tastes and interests of the generations so everyone has an unforgettable time. |
DAYS 1-3 - LIVINGSTONE
We meet in Livingstone (3 nights) at our family-friendly lodge right on the Zambezi River near the top of Victoria Falls. Not even "awesome" is a good enough word for the falls—and we'll prove it on walks and boat rides to see them from top, bottom and all sides of the Batoka Gorge. The river has cut a spectacular gorge, the perfect spot for the adventurers in your family to go ziplining or swinging out over its depths.
DAYS 4-6 - MOSI-O-TUNYA NATIONAL PARK
We hop from island to island to reach our next lodge in Mosi-O-Tunya National Park (3 nights). We'll go walking with the elephants, strike out on several walking safaris with some of Africa's most expert guides, and maybe go angling for fierce-looking tigerfish. To get a taste of local life, we'll also see how the people of Makuni Village cook and weave baskets (with a chance to try our own hands).
DAYS 7-10 - SOUTH LUANGWA NATIONAL PARK
In South Luangwa National Park, our lodge (3 nights) was the longtime home of Norman Carr, the originator of the walking safari. On our daytime and evening safaris we may see lions, waterbuck, puku antelope, cape buffalo, and many others. We'll also drop in on a local school where the teachers and students always welcome our visits. On our final morning we depart from the local airstrip for connections home.
