Itinerary
Day 1 - 2:
2 nights at Sindabezi Island Lodge, Victoria Falls, Zambia
WELCOME TO SINDABEZI ISLAND LODGE
Rated by Fodors as one of the top 10 eco lodges in Africa, Sindabezi Island is unique. An idyllic, exclusive camp on a private isle on the Zambezi River, it is the only luxury bush camp in the Victoria Falls area. Sindabezi has only five open-sided thatched cottages, allowing guests to soak up the sights and sounds of the African bush in a perfect, pristine setting. Views across the floodplains of the Zambezi and into the nearby National Park complete the experience. Sindabezi Island is also the perfect private venue to book for small groups.
Day 3 - 5:
3 nights at Chisa Busanga Camp, Busanga Plains, Zambia
WELCOME TO CHISA BUSANGA CAMP
After falling in love with the Busanga Plains, we built Chisa Busanga Camp to mimic its surrounds through beautiful architecture and environmentally conscious design.
Chisa is the Nyanja word for ‘birds nest’, and the rooms were inspired by the weaver bird nests that decorate the trees here. Sitting on a small tree-lined island, the camp uses only solar power as do the game drive vehicle and bicycles used to explore the watery dambos beyond.
Day 6 - 8:
3 nights at Shawa Luangwa Camp, South Luangwa, Zambia
WELCOME TO SHAWA LUANGWA CAMP
Our partnership with legendary guide, Jacob Shawa, not only inspired the name of Shawa Luangwa Camp; it created the foundation for us to bring Silent Safaris to the South Luangwa.
Like us, Jacob fell in love with the Zambian wilderness many years ago and has been deeply connected to it ever since. The spot where Shawa Luangwa sits overlooking the Luangwa River was handpicked by Jacob and is one of the park’s most untouched areas.
Day 9 - 11:
3 nights at Kaya Mawa, Lake Malawi
WELCOME TO KAYA MAWA
On the white sandy beaches of Likoma Island sits Kaya Mawa, a boutique lodge that welcomes honeymooners, families and friends for an indulgently carefree getaway.
Meaning ‘maybe tomorrow’ in Chichewa/Nyanja, the ethos of Kaya Mawa is in its name. Relaxed lakeside living is woven into the style, luxury and comfort of its Houses and Rooms. Dinner by starlight, massage therapy at our spa, and snorkelling in turquoise waters – it’s just another blissful day at Kaya.
Built by local hands and as Malawi’s first resort run solely on renewable-energy, Kaya Mawa is firmly grounded in sustainability, community empowerment and ethical trade.
