Reiseroute
Anstatt nur Pirschfahrten zu unternehmen und die Gegend in einem Fahrzeug zu erkunden, eröffnet Ihnen eine Erkundung zu Fuß andere Erfahrungen und neue Perspektiven auf die natürliche Umgebung. In einem Fahrzeug hören Sie oft weder die Vogelstimmen noch sehen Sie die Soldatenameisen, die nach einem Überfall auf die Termiten ihre Beute tragen.
Unser Ziel ist es nicht, das 'klassische' Wandersafari-Erlebnis anzubieten, für das renommierte Veranstalter im Luangwa-Tal berühmt sind. Wir bieten eine Safari mit gelegentlichen kurzen Spaziergängen in Gegenden, die sich für eine Erkundung zu Fuß eignen. Länge und Ort unserer Wanderungen können je nach Jahreszeit und Niederschlag in der vorangegangenen Regenzeit variieren und natürlich auch je nach den verschiedenen Orten, an denen wir uns aufhalten.
Die Wanderungen sind nicht anstrengend, aber normale Fitness und Gesundheit sind erforderlich, um die Ausflüge zu Fuß zu genießen.
Tourprogramm
Ankunft in Lusaka
Startpunkt
Lusaka, Lusaka, Zambia
Kasanka National Park
Transfer from Chisamba to Kasanka National Park (around 6 hours driving).
The rare and very shy Sitatunga Antelope can be normally seen grazing close to the campsite. We do a walking trip in the afternoon. Camping inside the National Park. (FB)
Bangweulu Sümpfe
After breakfast transfer to Bangweulu Wetlands (around 4hours)
These remote swamps are unique in ecology, fauna and flora. The water covers huge areas of the swamps until about April each year, when the waterline slowly recedes, and water birds congregate to feed in the pools and channels. In the afternoon of day 3 we will do a game drive to explore the area.
On day 4 we will be looking for the elusive Shoebilled Stork (depending on the water level we either walk or take a canoe, the walk can also involve wading through the swamp).
This interesting, strange looking bird has become very rare in most parts of Africa, but here in the Bangweulu they are fairly common.
The herds of thousands of Lechwe in this seemingly endless landscape, is an unforgettable African experience!
Camping at Nsobe Campsite (2x FB).
Mutinondo Wildnis
Early in the morning we drive to our next stop, Mutinondo Wilderness (5-6 hours driving). Huge ‘whalebacks’ (granite boulders) scattered in between the Miombo forest create the unique landscape of Mutinondo. We have a full day to explore and enjoy the special atmosphere in this area. We either do 2 short walks or 1 long walk on day 6.
2x Camping (2x FB)
Heiße Quellen von Kapsihya
After breakfast we drive to our next stop over: Kapishya Hot Springs (4-5 hours driving).
In the afternoon we will take a walk around the camp and do some birding, before and after the hike you can relax in the hot springs.
Nearby situated is the historic house Shiwa N'Gandu (possible visit at own expense instead of the walk, entrance fees will apply).
Camping on the banks of the Manshya river. (FB)
Nord Luangwa National Park
We drive to the north-western boundary of North Luangwa National Park (around 3 hours driving). We set up our camp at Samala Camp near the Mano Gate. In the afternoon we will take a walk along the river, and it is possible to take a refreshing bath in the mountain stream.
Camping at the Samala Campsite at the park’s border (FB).
Nord Luangwa National Park
Today’s stage takes us from 1400 m altitude down the escarpment to the hot Luangwa Valley. While we drive the temperature gets hotter and the lush Miombo forest gives way to the hot savannah (around 3 hours driving). We will do a short walk in the close surrounding of the campsite with a scout. Big herds of hippos call this area their home; elephants, various species of antelopes can be seen from our camp.
Camping at the campsite just outside the National Park. (FB).
Durch den Luambe NP zum South Luangwa National Park
Packing up and drive via Luambe National Park to the Nsefu Sector of South Luangwa National Park (around 3 hours driving).
South Luangwa NP is known for its abundance of African wildlife: Thornicroft’s giraffe, Cookson’s Gnu, Crawshay’s Zebra and big herds of buffalo and elephant. In the afternoon we will do a game drive in the Nsefu Swctor of the park (no walking trip planned on that day).
Camping on the Luangwa River close to Chibembe Nature Reserve. (FB).
Süd-Luangwa-Nationalpark
Through traditional villages we drive to the central area of the South Luangwa National Park, where we set up our tents at Wildlife Camp (around 1,5 hours driving). On these days we will explore the area with our game viewing vehicle on our game drive along the river, which often produces spectacular sightings. Hippo families occur in high numbers in the river, unequalled in Africa.
2x Camping on the banks of the Luangwa River at Wildlife Camp. (2x FB).
Wandersafari im South Luangwa NP
After another morning game drive, we pack a small backpack and start our walking trip in the afternoon to the Bush Camp, which is situated on the banks of the Luangwa River under huge Natal Mahogany trees providing shade during the hot days. Wildlife is in abundance and can be spotted from the bush-camp. A fully qualified guide and scout will lead the trek.
The next morning sunrise and birdsong wakes up the bush. After breakfast, it is time to pack up and head back to camp on foot – another three hour through Africa’s wilderness
In the afternoon of day 14 we will do a last game drive for sunset.
2x Camping (2x FB).
