Zambia - the hidden jewel for an African honeymoon! Begin your new life together with an unforgettable safari in Zambia. Start with two nights nestled in a splendid tree house on the banks of the Zambezi River and a visit to the Victoria Falls - one of the world's seven natural wonders. Fly to the remote Lower Zambezi National Park for a stay under canvas at a deluxe tented camp. Fill your days with relaxation or activity-choosing from game drives, nature walks, and night drives in areas teeming with diverse species. Conclude your journey in the wildlife-rich river valley of South Luangwa National Park. Game drives by day and night with expert wildlife guides reveal an astonishing amount of wildlife with regular predator sightings. At each camp there is plenty of time for R&R (rest and romance) while exploring the wilderness of Zambia.

Enjoy a scenic flight over the romantic Victoria Falls.

DAYS 1-2 :  LIVINGSTONE / VICTORIA FALLS
Arrive into Livingstone Airport where you are met by a local representative for the road transfer to the lodge. Your honeymoon hideaway is situated within the Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park. Mosi-Oa-Tunya, meaning 'the smoke that thunders', is the name the local people have for the inspirational Victoria Falls. The lodge is nestled on the northern edges of the park, where elegant tree houses and raised walkways hide amongst giant ebony trees. Each tree house has a secluded verandah overlooking the Zambezi River. A visit to the spectacular Falls themselves is a must during your stay. Spend the rest of your days choosing from sunset river cruises, visits to a local village, game drives, or historic tours of Livingstone town (all included in your stay). Two nights lodging at Sussi & Chuma Lodge [LD on day 1, BLD on day 2]

	Paddle in serenity along the Zambezi.

DAYS 3-5 :  LOWER ZAMBEZI NATIONAL PARK
Morning departure for your flight to Lower Zambezi National Park, an extremely remote area full of abundant and varied wildlife. Along the banks of the Zambezi River and in ancient oxbow lakes, there are bountiful populations of elephant, lion, buffalo, waterbuck, leopard, hyena, zebra, various gazelle and many bird species. Deep in the park is a secluded, intimate safari camp tucked comfortably under the deep shade of tall riverside trees. Profoundly peaceful, eco-friendly and well appointed, the camp overlooks one of the permanent channels of the legendary Zambezi River. Here, after a thousand-mile journey, the sunlit river spreads out to form broad white sandbanks inhabited by crocodile, hippopotamus, and Sacred ibis.

After sunset, when the paraffin lamps glow softly among the trees, the chink of glass and china as dinner is served is often accompanied by the nocturnal voices of leopard or a rare fishing owl. In the morning, your quest for an unforgettable wildlife viewing adventure begins. Discover Kulefu's magnificent wildlife with your sweetheart by boat, canoe, safari vehicle or on foot - and from the verandah of your own comfortable tent. Three nights lodging at Kulefu Tented Camp.

Begin your life together on the safari of a lifetime.

DAYS 6-7 :  SOUTH LUANGWA NATIONAL PARK
Fly to Mfuwe, gateway to the legendary South Luangwa National Park. You will be met by a local representative and begin your 1.5 hour drive to the spectacular Puku Ridge Tented Camp. Your journey to the camp is a game drive and the transfer time is really determined by how much you see along the way. The concentration of game around the Luangwa River and its oxbow lagoons is among the most intense in Africa. Wildlife is abundant with herds of buffalo, elephant, puku, and giraffe dominating. The predator populations are healthy with regular sightings of lion and leopard. Spend two nights at the beautiful Puku Ridge tented Camp. Named after the elusive Puku antelope which never strays far from water, this beautiful camp is set among trees on a ridge overlooking the sweeping expanse of the fertile Kakumbi dambo (valley). The camp is small and intimate, built unobtrusively close to the wild. Each of the six comfortably furnished safari tents has its own lavish bathroom that includes an indoor and an outdoor shower. The diverse wildlife along the dambo offers great opportunities for photography, whether you choose to explore on foot with a keen-eyed guide, or range further a field in a safari vehicle. Return to camp in the evenings to dine under the stars and surrounded by the night sounds of Africa. Overnight at Puku Ridge Camp. [BLD]

	Gentle nuzzling is typical of wildlife and honeymooners alike.

DAY 8 :  DEPART
A morning charter flight takes you to Lusaka in time to connect with onward international flights or begin an extension to South Africas wine region, Botswana's Okavango Delta or spend some time relaxing on one of the beautiful beaches along the Indian Ocean. [B]
