We start our drive in Lusaka from where we go north to Kasanka National Park, on the south western edge of Lake Bangweulu. A birding paradise, but also home to one of the greatest wildlife spectacles on Earth – from October to December about 10 million Straw-coloured fruit bats migrate to a small patch of swamp forest in this park. Kasanka may be a small park but is home to 479 bird species and 114 mammals, including the secretive, semi-aquatic Sitatunga the antelope that can live on land and water.
Wasa Lodge: simple but lovely on the edge of the Wasa Lake.
Luwombwa Lodge: basic lodge on the banks of the Luwombwa River overlooking a grassy floodplain, chalets have views on the river, good bird watching possibilities.
Bangwelu Swamps: We continue our ride to the Bangwelu wetlands which means "where the water sky meets the sky". An important African wetland with almost 700 different species of birds, including the Shoebill stork. Also home of the endemic black lechwe.
We stay in the Nkondo camp managed by African Parks
Further north we drive along several waterfalls, most of them play an important role in the believes of the indigenous people of the north and are sanctuaries of local spirits. Waterfalls to see include; Mumbuluma Falls - Ntumbachusi Falls - Lumangwe Falls - Kabwelume waterfalls - Chisimba Falls
From Chisimba Fall our drive continues south east to Kasama, where the worldwide fighting of WW1 ended at the Chambeshi River, on 14 November, 1918. 3 days after the official ending of the war. And one day after General Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck captured Kasama, only then he was informed about the German surrender on 11 November in Europe.
We drive further north to Lake Tanganyika, the 2nd largest freshwater lake of the world. Where you can find amazing beaches for snorkelling, fishing villages and the Nsumbu national park.
We return south heading for the Kapishya Hot Springs (naturally sulphur free geothermal springs of crystal clear water reach the surface from thermal vents 7km below, giving the spring a perfect temperature of around 40 degrees Celsius.
Driving further south we go to the fascinating full with amazing stories Shiwa Ngandu - the dream project of Sir Stewart Gore-Brown who tried to build a miniature idealised England in the middle of tropical Africa. The estate had an impressive mansion, a hospital, school, post office and more. Living in this remote area Gore Brown's view on black Africans changed. And he wanted that white settlers lived more collaborative with the black Africans. He became a friend with the founding father of Zambia Kenneth Kaunda. In 1992 his daughter who took care of the building was murdered by the ANC. Today Charly Harvey, the grandson of Stewart is managing the estate, he restored the Mansion and opened it for the public. The live of Gore Brown was the inspiration of the novel "The Africa House" written by Christina Lamb in 1999.
Go further via the windy pretty road down into North Luangwa from where we go to our last destination South Luangwa - another amazing spot for wildlife spotting, walking safaris and star gazing - before we head back to Lusaka
