From the floodplains of Liuwa Plains National Park, where hyenas outnumber people, to the untouched wilderness of Kafue, this guided self-drive trip is the ultimate expedition for adventurers wanting to escape the tourist trail and discover Zambia’s hidden treasures.

Expect a true explorer’s route, filled with wild camping, vibrant local culture, dramatic rivers, remote national parks, and wildlife sightings in raw, untamed settings.

What to Expect
  • Off-the-map destinations with very few other travelers
  • True wild camping and rustic, remote lodges
  • 4×4 terrain with river crossings and long remote stretches
  • Incredible wildlife in Liuwa and Kafue
  • The iconic Zambezi River & Victoria Falls finale

Itinerary Highlights

Day 1:
Kick off in Kasane, meet your crew, check the gear, and prep for the remote roads ahead.

Day 2:
Cross into Zambia and roll into Kabula Tiger Lodge, where the Zambezi whispers just meters from your tent.

Day 3:
Journey into the vast, wild Liuwa Plains. Camp at Sikale, where hyenas rule and humans are just passing through.

Day 4–5:
Two nights at Katayona Camp, deep in Zambia’s remote west. No crowds. No cell signal. Just bush, stars, and silence.

Day 6:
Touch base in Mongu – a fuel stop, a bit of bustle, and a breather before the next leg.

Day 7–8:
Head to Kashubushi Camp on the banks of the Kafue River. Think wild rivers, rugged terrain, and real solitude.

Day 9:
Into Kafue National Park – one of Africa’s largest and most untouched parks. Big game. Big views. Big adventure.

Day 10–11:
Wind down in Livingstone – grab a cold one, visit the mighty Victoria Falls, or just soak in river life.

Day 12:
Cruise back to Kasane – a border hop and a toast to the journey of a lifetime.
