About this trip
A cultural expedition combining a ceremony patronaged by UNESCO as a "Masterpiece of the Intangible Heritage of Humanity" (the Likumbi Lya Mize, the heart of the traditional culture of the Luvale people and the Vaka Chinyama tribes) with one of the wildest and most spectacular national parks in Africa.
Accommodation is mixed: camping in Kafue National Park and lodges and guesthouses in the main cities.
You will be accompanied by a certified engish-speaking professional guide and a professional bush-chef during your camping days and by an international expert on the Vaka Chinyama Cultures and published author of books on the Likumbi Lya Mize Ceremony.
