Wildlife Symphony

A deluxe fly-in safari amidst wild beauty and solitude! World-class guides, spectacular wildlife and Chinzombo - Zambia's most exclusive safari lodge in South Luangwa.

One shiny grey-pink hill after another rises out of the muddy waters of the bizarre Luangwa River. The 50 or so hippos lined up next to each other pant and grunt in a polyphonic chorus that is almost deafening. The sound waves spread across the wide plains bordering the river. There are said to be at least 6,000 hippos in South Luangwa. The symphony of the colossi is an absolute highlight.

Herds of buffalo numbering in the hundreds stampede towards the horizon in a cloud of dust, while in the next moment a pack of around 50 hyenas chase their evening meal. A growing population of cheetahs and wild dogs speaks for the unspoilt nature of this region.
Are you already familiar with the imposing Botswana, the rugged romance of Tanzania and the lovely South Africa? Then we can recommend a country for advanced safari travellers: Zambia! This diverse nation in southern Africa is considered by many to be one of the last true wildernesses and the continent's greatest secret. The number of visitors is low and the vast plains of untouched wilderness have remained unchanged for thousands of years. To experience the cheerfulness and friendliness of Zambians, the phenomenal wildlife and abundant nature without sharing the experience with many others is a privilege that is hard to find these days.

"Wildlife Symphony is for the real enthusiast and those who want to experience the true wilderness of Africa undiluted."

This luxury fly-in safari takes you to either two or three of Zambia's spectacular national parks. Feel the wilderness and solitude in South Luangwa National Park, which casts a magical spell over safari connoisseurs with its enormous variety of animals. Discover the remote plains of Liuwa Plains - home to the second largest wildebeest migration in Africa - and the beautiful Lower Zambezi. Zambia is also the country of origin of the walking safari - an adventure that touches the soul deeply. The guiding in Zambia is excellent and has won many awards, and enjoys a reputation as the best guiding in Africa. The outstandingly realised safari lodges are in line with this. Whether in South Luangwa, Liuwa Plains or Lower Zambezi, a deliberately slower approach is noticeable in comparison to South Africa. The Zambian wilderness and nature are brilliantly realised with restraint, intimacy and uniqueness. Your adventure is crowned with exclusive hospitality and fabulous fine dining experiences in the middle of the wilderness. Travelling in Zambia couldn't be better!

Please note: The perfect safari composition depends on the time you are travelling, season-specific features/opening times of the camps, flight connections and your interests. We will create your personal Wildlife Symphony according to your interests and after checking its feasibility, possibly in a different order and with different parks/accommodation.

"I watched the sunset over the Luangwa River in all its dramatic red colours and experienced a completely different atmosphere. The reflection of the play of colours over the bizarre Luangwa River is unique and extremely photogenic. The bee-eaters, one of the most colourful bird species in Africa, also glow in deep crimson. Plan your wildlife sympho-ny between September and November to admire the fascinating flocks in their thousands along the sandy banks of the Luangwa River."
