Two Rivers Safari
Tour Highlights
DAY 1
LOWER ZAMBEZI NATIONAL PARK
This morning take a flight from Lusaka to Lower Zambezi National Park. The Lower Zambezi's magic lies in the fact that it is relatively undeveloped and offers a slice of Africa that is both pristine and wild. The park's name comes from its most dominant feature - the Zambezi River. The river is the focal point of many activities in the park, and most lodges are built on its banks with rooms overlooking the river and sweeping floodplains.
Accommodation: Royal Zambezi Lodge - Deluxe Tent
Meals: Lunch & Dinner, including Alcoholic & Non-Alcoholic Beverages
Activities: Morning & Afternoon Game Drives, Canoeing, Boat Cruises, Angling, DNA (Do Nothing At All), Bush Walks & Hiking
LOWER ZAMBEZI NATIONAL PARK
Enjoy early morning and late afternoon safari activities. Game drives take place in an open sided vehicle and come specially equipped with hand-held spotlights for night viewing. Night drives can be extremely exciting when the nocturnal creatures such as leopards, civets, porcupines, genets and aardvarks come out to hunt and forage for food. All safaris at Royal Zambezi are conducted with a private guide and vehicle and the experience is one focused around flexibility and tailored exactly to your interests. Over the four days at Royal Zambezi the guides will work hard to ensure you have seen your favourite species.

DAY 2
DAY 3
LOWER ZAMBEZI NATIONAL PARK
Morning and afternoon game activities.
In between game drives, exploration takes place on the Zambezi River in a powered motor-boat or under your own steam with a canoe. The river offers a rich variety of bird life and you may see the ubiquitous fish eagle or an osprey often taking larger fish from the river. Kingfishers are found in a myriad of shapes, colours and sizes. Crocodiles line the shore, pods of hippos wallow in the shallows and herds of elephants frequent the banks of the rivers in which they quench their thirst. The river is a focal point for the wildlife and much of your exploration of the park will focus on the river.

LAKE ELEMENTAITA
Leaving the Masai Mara after breakfast, travel across the ‘breadbasket’ of Kenya, where acres of wheat and barley dominate the landscape. Lunch will be a picnic stop en route to Lake Nakuru National Park. Arrive at Lake Nakuru in the afternoon and head out on a game drive. Known for its birdlife, the park, with the right climatic conditions, offers the possibility to view thousands of flamingoes feeding in the shallow alkaline lake.
While not a large national park, Lake Nakuru is incredibly scenic and has several unique wildlife sightings that make it a worthwhile visit, including good chances of finding black and white rhinos and the endangered Rothschild Giraffe.

DAY 4
DAY 5
TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK
After breakfast, continue south towards the Tanzania border and then on to Arusha for lunch. After lunch, you will depart Arusha and pass through the Maasai Steppe, filled with picturesque African villages and coffee and banana plantations. Arrive at Tarangire National Park, enter the park, and begin exploring with a game drive as you slowly make your way to the lodge arriving for dinner.
Tarangire is most famous for its giant baobabs, a network of swamps, and large herds of elephants rumoured to be the largest population in Tanzania. It is less known for a yearly secret migration where masses of wildlife are drawn to the Tarangire River during the dry season as it remains the last viable water source for miles.
Accommodation: Tarangire Sopa Lodge
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Activities: Afternoon Game Drive
