Zambia parks, villages and Victoria Falls in 11 days (10 nights)

11 days · Zambia · Lusaka → Livingstone

The trip opens with a night near Lusaka, then heads west by road to Kafue National Park for three nights. From there it returns through Lusaka for a flight to Mfuwe and three nights in South Luangwa, with day drives, night drives and guided walks. The last three nights are in Livingstone. That leaves time for the Falls and for the town itself, including its museum, a local market and a visit to a nearby village, so the trip covers the people and history of the south as well as the wildlife.
