ENQUIRY ABOUT PRICES Other details about this itinerary »
  • Overnight: 21 nights on safari we stay at chalets, tented lodges and guest houses. Of which; 15 nights en suite facilities. 1 night camping (Sunway will provide tents, mats and chairs, but you will need to bring your own sleeping bag). 5 nights in chalets with shared ablution facilities in Cape Maclear, Bilenes and Kruger. The accommodation can be rustic or even basic, these may be the only option.
  • Meals: 20 breakfasts, 20 lunches and 17 dinners are included. Of which; 7 breakfasts & 3 dinners are provided by the lodges. The remaining included meals are prepared by the Sunway crew, prepared at the vehicle and enjoyed around the campfire or at the truck.
  • Transport: Due to the sometimes demanding road conditions you travel in a Sunway Safari truck with 12 seats. Potholes, speed bumps(!) & rain damaged gravel roads are characteristic of the areas we travel through and can make driving slow and bouncy. However, we pass through road side villages and thus have opportunity to witness the local lifestyle. For the game drives in South Luangwa we use open sided 4WD vehicles with local guides.
  • Limited participation: An essential part of your safari is some participation. From carrying your own bag to cleaning your window and packing the truck in the morning – it’s all part of your adventure. For the longer days if everyone puts in a little effort the trip will run smoothly. Where the tour leaders provide meals we ask that clients help (on rotation) with washing up.
