Zambia is the rising star of the African safari circuit. The rich wildlife and dramatic wilderness areas have
always been here but they used to be difficult to reach for all but the most intrepid travellers. Sanctuary now
has access to some of Zambia and Botswana’s best National Parks and can introduce guests to the magic of
the three major rivers through the central African jewel.
The Luangwa River in the South Luangwa National Park where Sanctuary Puku Ridge Camp is situated, the
Zambezi River in the Mosi-oa-Tunya National where Sanctuary Sussi & Chuma is situated and the Chobe
River along side the Chobe National Park where Sanctuary Chobe Chilwero borders, offers incredible scenery,
some tranquil, some wild and untamed along with the wildlife that frequents these rivers.
