Desination Focus: Lufupa Camp, Wilderness Safaris

Hi there, I will start ny saying they run safari camps and lodges in 7 countries in Southern Africa, ranging from Botswana to Zimbabwe. To be country-specific, in the case of Zambia, they run 4 camps in the Kafue National Park, namely: Busanga Bush Camp, Kapinga Camp, Lunga River Lodge and Shumba Camp (I hope this means lion!) In the South Luangwa, they run Kalamu Tented Camp, and at the Victoria Falls, it is the River Club. And they are called Wilderness Safaris. In keeping with their motto, "Our journeys change people's lives," they run Wilderness Safaris runs schools in communities in which it operates, thereby ploughing resources back into the communities in which they operate.

We are open!!!, say the Lower Zambezi

This is one thing I could not believe but had to: A colleague of mine who works with one of the travel agencies told me the Lower Zambezi was open, I mean for tourists, both local and international. She went on to reveal they were actually staying at Kiambi (www.kiambi.co.za) and were having a good time. After what we would a slightly dry spell, we are back to wet days and nights. This will not last; meaning a food crisis for Zambia this year because the rains could destroy the crop that is ready for harvest. One would only hope for the better Cheers, LusakaOnline
