Day One | Depart Lusaka at the scheduled time with SKYTRAILS flight to Jeki airstrip in the Lower Zambezi National Park and enjoy a short game drive to your first fly camp, Chula or Kutali Island camp. (± 35 min. flight + 10 / 30 min. transfer by vehicle). On arrival you are welcomed with a refreshing drink before being shown to your en-suite tent. Once you have settled in, return to the main area and enjoy sundowners at camp or on a boat cruise. Under the stars you will enjoy a delicious evening meal whilst discussing the exciting possibilitiesfor the next couple of days with your guide. The primary focus of a Tusk & Mane safari is the wilderness itself, to reconnect you with nature and replenish your senses. As Tusk & Mane Safaris are small and exclusive, they can respond to your activity preferences on a daily basis. Game viewing is totally flexible but is primarily on foot or on the canoes; game drives, boat cruises and fishing are still very much on offer as well. Below is an example of a typical 3 day safari with Tusk & Mane, also we highly recommend 4 days to have two nights at each flycamp and fit in all activities. |
