On arrival at Lusaka International Airport, you check in for your scheduled charter flight to Mfuwe Airport close to the South Luangwa National Park.
On arrival, you are transferred to the lodge (40 minute drive). This is quite a busy road and as you travel through the villages, your drive is punctuated by the opportunistic greetings of savvy youngsters, who wave madly in the hope of sweets!
On arrival at Nkwali you settle into your family suite. The family suite has an en suite bedroom and a separate sitting room which can sleep two children.
Nkwali Camp is on the banks of the Luangwa river overlooking the South Luangwa National Park. There are large lawned areas where the children can play under the shade of huge ebony trees. The staff are fun, friendly and competent and the safari activities will be individually tailored to your family taking your childrenβs ages and temperament into account. You will usually have a safari vehicle and guide to yourself.
This is superb game-viewing country, famous for leopard and giraffe sightings. This charming small camp of six thatched en suite chalets has an unusual bar encircling an enormous ebony tree.
Particular activities for children include nature walks around the camp to identify and learn about animal spoor, droppings, visits to the local Kawaza school to meet Zambian children. They can also participate at a local workshop making elephant dung paper and greeting cards.
Safari packs are given to each child with quizzes, animal books etc. They can also help the camp staff if they wish, making biscuits for afternoon tea or collecting food for lunch from the vegetable garden or eggs from the chickens.
