Northern Province
You will be taken to Mfuwe Airport to join Phil and his partner Babette for a scenic flight up to Shiwa Ng’andu, where we will be hosted by Charlie & Jo Harvey.

We will spend the next three nights at Shiwa N’gandu (The Africa House) - built by Stewart Gore-Browne to be an "African Utopia" in the wilderness, the design based on an English country estate. Today his grandson Charlie Harvey and wife Jo have opened it to the public and will be on-hand to host you.

Kasanka
Today we leave Shiwa for Kasanka. Our charter flight will stop over enroute at Bangweulu, where we will have the chance to drive amongst massive herds of thousands of Black Lechwe, then fly on to Kasanka.

We will spend the next three nights at Wasa Lodge which lies on the edge of Lake Wasa, with fine views of hippo and sometimes even sitatunga, it is ideally suited for visiting the hide at Fibwe and the bats. All the buildings are thatched and traditional in style.

Kasanka

Kasanka hosts a unique wildlife spectacle every year, when millions of Straw-coloured Fruit bats assemble to roost in an area of forest there. Join Phil at twilight to watch the bats fill the sky, as they leave their roost site to feed. During the day you will go in search of a variety of unusual Zambian wildlife including sitatunga, Bohm’s bee-eaters & Ross’s Louries.
