Cataratas de Ngonye
Después de desayunar, conduciremos a lo largo del curso del río Zambeze hasta las hermosas cataratas de Ngonye; no tan poderosas como el "hermano mayor", más al sur, pero igualmente impresionantes. El Zambeze se divide en varios canales y las masas de agua se abren paso a través de las formaciones de arenisca. Caminaremos hasta una isla para obtener la mejor vista de las cataratas. Acamparemos cerca del río. (FB).
Ir a las Llanuras de Liuwa
Tras el descanso, nos dirigiremos más al norte, hacia Mongu, y cruzaremos las llanuras aluviales de Barotse para llegar al Parque Nacional de las Llanuras de Liuwa. Hay pocas carreteras, pero esto forma parte del atractivo del parque: unos 3660 km² de África virgen. La mayor parte es una inmensa llanura de hierba color miel, en la que sólo alguna balsa de agua, una isla de palmeras rafia o un pequeño cinturón de árboles interrumpen el paisaje.
A finales de octubre, decenas de miles de gnus (unos 26.000), así como cebras y búfalos, se unirán a los más residentes lechwe rojo y reedbuck.
Las llanuras abiertas son especialmente buenas para el oribi. Las hienas son los principales depredadores aquí, mientras que los perros salvajes, los guepardos y los leones están dispersos por las llanuras. Acampada en la sabana (hay agua corriente, duchas y retretes con cisterna). (3xFB)

Recorridos por el Parque, acampada (FB)
Mongu
Conduce hasta Mongu, nuestra parada al borde de las llanuras aluviales de Barotse. Aquí tendremos la posibilidad de aprovisionarnos para los próximos días en el Parque Nacional de Kafue. Acampada (FB).
Parque Nacional de Kafue
Atravesamos el bosque de Miombo hasta Chunga. Varios ríos pequeños cruzan esta zona. Éstos dejan varios abrevaderos en la estación seca para que los animales sacien su sed. Los perros salvajes, que deambulan por amplias zonas del parque, el guepardo y el león son algunos de sus habitantes. La avifauna es prolífica. Acampa a orillas del río Kafue en el campamento Mayukuyuku. (2x FB)

Traslado a Lusaka
Abandonamos la naturaleza salvaje y conducimos por una carretera asfaltada hasta Lusaka, la capital de Zambia. Pasaremos la noche en chalets del campamento Pioneer o similar. Cena en un restaurante (por cuenta propia) (D/A/-).
Traslado a Chipata
De camino a Chipata, conduciremos a través de un hermoso paisaje montañoso y nos detendremos en el Puente Luangwa, un próspero mercado donde se ofrecen todo tipo de cestas y esteras, así como artículos tallados a mano. Pasaremos la noche en modernas habitaciones del Hotel Protea (D/A/-).
PN Luangwa Sur
Por la mañana iniciamos el viaje hacia Mfuwe y a nuestro campamento fuera de la frontera del parque. El PN South Luangwa es conocido por su abundancia de fauna africana: Jirafa de Thorneycroft, Gnu de Cookson, Cebra de Crawshay y grandes manadas de búfalos y elefantes.
Los safaris por el río Luangwa suelen producir avistamientos espectaculares. Se pueden ver familias de hipopótamos en gran número en el río, algo sin parangón en África.
Durante la estación seca (de julio a octubre), muchos canales laterales del río se secan, dejando atrapados a los peces. Esto atrae a muchas especies diferentes de depredadores, como el águila pescadora africana, el chacal y la hiena, por mencionar sólo algunos.
Los coloridos abejarucos carmín se ven a menudo posados frente a sus nidos en las orillas del río.
Acampada en Croc Valley Camp, Marula Lodge o similar (4x FB).
