South Luangwa and Livingstone family safari in 8 days (7 nights)

8 days · Zambia · Lusaka → Livingstone

Four nights in the Luangwa Valley come first, followed by three at Victoria Falls. From Lusaka a scheduled flight reaches Mfuwe, a short drive from family camps with game drives, night drives, gentle walks and a junior-explorer programme. A light-aircraft flight then takes the family to Livingstone for three nights on the Zambezi, with the falls, a sunset cruise and outings in Mosi-oa-Tunya. Walking safaris have minimum ages, so younger children stay with vehicles and boats.
