A brilliant blend of birds and amazing animals, this is truly a spectacular safari. Using small bush planes to cut our travel time, and taking in wonderful views of the Miombo and Mopane woodland terrain as we go, we find ourselves in Zambia and a unique juncture in the season. The dry season is the best time for viewing mammals and as it winds down, animals are increasingly concentrated, and this is just as the wet season ramps up and the breeding bird season heats up as well. Based at a few phenomenal bush camps, virtually everyday we are amidst one of the last true wildernesses on Earth. Join Hillstar to peel back the layers of two thrilling national parks, namely the Lower Zambezi and Kafue.
