Three Rivers Safari offers the chance to visit some of the most prolific
wildlife areas in Zambia and Botswana, taking in three National Parks, a
variety of game viewing activities and the flexibility to see as little or as
much of these areas as you would like. Although the safari is based around
rivers, there are plenty of opportunities for land game drives so you really
will be getting the best of both worlds.
The basic itinerary can be extended at any of the locations to allow further
exploration in areas that most inspire you. The standard or style of
accommodation can also be tailored to meet your needs. Here we have
given you four options in each location, these may be chosen by rating or
mixed and matched. A combination of hotels, lodges and bush camps
mean that this safari can be as individual as you are. Whether your
preference is rustic simplicity or authentic luxury, we can tailor Three
Rivers to suit you. All of the properties are in fantastic locations but meet
different needs, please ask our reservations team to help you discover
your style.
