Some of Africa’s most remarkable wildlife lives just minutes from your hotel in Livingstone. Mosi oa Tunya National Park — whose name, meaning ‘The Smoke That Thunders’, belongs also to the Victoria Falls roaring at its boundary — is one of Zambia’s most accessible and rewarding safari experiences, and one that surprises even seasoned travellers. The park is home to a resident herd of southern white rhinos, one of the few places in Zambia where you can track them on foot. This is not a zoo encounter — it is a genuine walking experience in open bush, led by a professional guide and armed ranger, bringing you quietly and safely within striking distance of one of Africa’s most iconic and endangered animals. From the open vehicle, expect to encounter hippos shouldering out of the Zambezi, cape buffalo grazing in the late morning light, warthogs trotting across the track, and a generous variety of birds wheeling overhead. The park may be compact, but the wildlife density is remarkable, and no two drives are ever the same.

In a single day from Livingstone, you can cross into Botswana and find yourself on one of Africa’s great wildlife rivers, surrounded by the largest concentration of elephants on earth. The Chobe Day Trip is Nekacheya’s most immersive day safari — a full 13 hours that gives you two completely different perspectives on the bush: from the water and from the land. The day begins early. By the time most guests are finishing breakfast, you’ll be gliding along the Chobe River on a quiet boat cruise, watching elephants wade chest-deep across the channel, hippos yawning in the shallows, and crocodiles warming on the banks. The river brings everything to you — it is Africa at its most unhurried and its most dramatic, often in the same moment. After a generous riverside buffet lunch, you head out into the savannah on an open-vehicle game drive. Chobe is predator country. Lions, leopards, and wild dogs all hunt these plains, and the afternoon light turns every sighting golden. By the time you cross back into Zambia, you will have experienced two countries, two ecosystems, and more wildlife than most people see in a week.
