7 NIGHTS, 8 DAYS, ROMANTIC LUXURY ACCOMMODATION, SOUTH LUANGWA SAFARI, WILDLIFE AND COMMUNITY VISITS
Are you a romantic at heart? Maybe you have read Christina Lamb’s “Africa House” and are intrigued? Here we have designed a safari that is perfect for you.
Start off your trip in Zambia’s renowned South Luangwa National Park with a truly remote wilderness experience. After you have thoroughly enjoyed your wildlife experience in the Luangwa Valley, you travel on further north in Zambia to experience the well-known Shiwa House which is truly a most amazing piece of African history. This is the former Estate of Sir Stewart Gore Browne built in 1928 against all odds. The house has recently been restored and offers guests a chance to put the experiences they may have enjoyed in the “Africa House” book by Christina Lamb into reality. An opportunity of a life time!
