Overview
The Lower Zambezi River & Wildlife Safari is a 6-day safari through Lower Zambezi National Park, designed and operated by Saringi Tours. Based in Nairobi and women-led, Saringi has been building private African itineraries since 2018. Every game drive, lodge, and activity has been chosen for what it adds to the experience as a whole.
Southern Africa covers a lot of ground, and the sequence matters. Saringi has been putting these itineraries together since 2018, and this one is built to balance game-rich safari days with the scenery and culture that make the region worth the journey. Group size, lodge category, and duration can all be adjusted, and East African extensions are available. Contact our team for a personalised quote.

Day-by-Day Itinerary
Day 1Arrive Lower Zambezi
Fly or drive into the Lower Zambezi National Park and settle into camp with an afternoon boat safari on the Zambezi. Zimbabwe's Mana Pools escarpment is visible across the river.
Day 2Game Drive & Canoe Safari
Morning game drive through the riverine woodland. Afternoon canoe safari: paddling silently past elephants drinking, hippos surfacing, and buffalo wallowing at the river's edge.
Day 3Walking Safari
Guided walking safari through the riverine forest and onto the woodland beyond, tracking game on foot with an armed scout and professional guide. The river creates a natural boundary that concentrates game.
Day 4Transfer to Sausage Tree Camp
Relocate to a different stretch of the river for variety in scenery and wildlife. Sausage Tree Camp's isolated position in a remote section of the park ensures a different game-viewing perspective.
Day 5Full Day -- River Activities
Full day of activities at your choice: tiger fishing with a specialist guide, a further canoe trip, a game drive, or a boat safari at sunset. The Zambezi's tigerfish are regarded as one of Africa's most exciting freshwater quarry.
Day 6Final Morning Activity -- Fly Out
Final morning activity before transfer to the airstrip for onward or international connections. End of Saringi Tours services.

I had an absolutely wonderful time in Kenya, all thanks to Millcent / Saringi Travel. From the incredibly friendly and reliable communication, to the flexible and thoughtful travel planning, all the way to the outstanding care on the ground, everything was simply perfect. I always felt well taken care of and in the best hands. What impressed me most was not only their professionalism, but also the sheer beauty of the entire experience. I'm still completely in awe!
