AFRICAN TOURS

We cross back to the Eastern side of the Kwando and turn North to Zambia. We enter Zambia at a small and unknown border post where we also enter the Sioma-Ngwezi National Park. It is sand roads in the park with lots of elephants near the river.

Barotseland (Western Zambia) is very underdeveloped and our basic camp for the evening is near the Kwando River.

This is an un-explored and seldom visited park.

The Kwando River is the border between Zambia and Angola.

Hot showers (donkeys) and flush toilets. 

Today is our last shopping for the next 5 days. In Mongu there is a Shoprite for our needed groceries, fresh produce and ice.

We now turn West and cross the 50km wide Zambezi flood plains to Kulabo. Enroute we pass the winter residence of the Lozi king and his royal canoes, which is part of the colourful Kambuka ceremony.

At Kulabo we cross the Luwangina River on a ferry and after a few sandy kilometers we sign into the Liuwa Plains National Park.

Our camps are rustic, with cold showers but with flush toilets. You must supply your own drinking water for 5 days. We sleep at Kwale in the South for 2 nights and 2 nights further North at Katoyana camp.

For the next few days we enjoy what the park has to offer, panoramic landscapes, wildebeest in their thousands and with luck the predators like wild dogs, lions and hyena’s. 

Liuwa Plains. We leave this beautiful, untouched wilderness and back-track to Kulabo and then Mongu.

We camp on the edge of town, facing west with a lovely sunset over the flood plains. We have normal 220v power and other amenities in camp. 

We cross the border back to Katima Mulilo (cappuccinos and ice cream) and do some shopping.

There is time to explore the town and have lunch (own cost) before we go to our camp on the Zambezi River.

Tonight, it is 220v power, hot showers, wifi and a cash bar.

For those so inclined, can try tiger fishing (own cost).
