Camp Highlights:
- This is one of the best locations in Zambia to see roan, sable, and oribi. The open dambos allow for clear, long-distance viewing of these specialized species.
- Guaranteed predator sightings (lion, leopard, cheetah)
- With over 450 recorded species in the area, the plains are a significant draw for birdwatchers, including sightings of the endemic Black-cheeked Lovebird.

3 nights on the Kafue River at Kaingu Safari Lodge
After breakfast, we will leave camp to meet the team from Kaingu. Kaingu River Lodge is magnificently situated in the riparian woodland on the banks of the Kafue River with stunning views. African finfoot, hippo and a wide variety of birdlife are on constant display and river based boat cruises and canoeing is a must on this portion of the Kafue River.
