The journey
Our pioneer route. Where few visitors go.
Zambia’s north is still building its tourism infrastructure — and we treat that as the point, not a problem. Seven days trace a corridor from the Copperbelt’s mining cities, through Northern Province’s waterfalls around Kasama, to Mbala and the shores of Lake Tanganyika.
Expect more basic accommodation than our flagship journeys, longer transfer days, and a genuine sense of arriving somewhere few visitors go — with buffer time built in, because that is how this part of Zambia works. We brief every guest honestly before departure.
- Chishimba Falls — a three-tier cascade
- Mwela Rocks — ancient San rock art
- Kalambo Falls — 221m single drop
- Lake Tanganyika boat outing
Chishimba Falls, Kasama
Day by day
The road less taken.
- Day 1
Lusaka to the Copperbelt
Fly Lusaka–Ndola (about 40 minutes) or drive (roughly 320 km / 3 hours). Copperbelt orientation — Ndola’s mining heritage and city sights.
- Day 2
Deeper into the Copperbelt
Kitwe and the wider Copperbelt for a fuller look at Zambia’s mining economy, then transfer toward Kasama.
- Day 3
Waterfalls & rock art
Chishimba Falls, about 35 km from Kasama, then Mwela Rocks — one of Central Africa’s largest concentrations of ancient San rock art.
- Day 4
North to Mbala & Kalambo Falls
Drive to Mbala (about 2 hours) and on to Kalambo Falls — at 221 m, Africa’s second-highest single-drop waterfall, on the Zambia–Tanzania border.
- Day 5
Lake Tanganyika
Drive to Mpulungu (about 40 minutes): boat outing on the lake, a fishing-village visit and lakeside lunch.
- Day 6
Buffer & return south
A contingency morning for roads and small-aircraft schedules, or an optional second lake outing; transfer back towards Kasama.
- Day 7
Homeward
Fly Kasama–Lusaka (via Ndola where required).
