Get up close and personal with the wildlife along Zambia’s mighty rivers. Time + Tide is connected through the rivers of Zambia, journey with us to both of our regions, the South Luangwa and the Lower Zambezi. An unspoiled wilderness, the South Luangwa National Park is known as the Valley of the Leopard and the home to the walking safari. With endemic giraffe and wildebeest, and endangered wild dogs, the game viewing here is second to none. The landscape of the Lower Zambezi National Park is entirely different, its lush channels and ancient forests are a haven for elephants, predators and birdlife. It offers the greatest variety of activities in Zambia, from game drives to canoeing, boat cruises, walking safaris and tiger fishing. Explore both parks with award-winning guides on our most popular itinerary in Zambia.
Upon landing at Royal Airstrip, your guide will meet and transfer you to Time + Tide Chongwe on an approximate 20-minute game drive.
