Zambia is often overlooked, but offers exceptional safaris in the South Luangwa and the Lower Zambezi National Parks. Here you can view game from 4x4 vehicles, sturdy boats, canoes and on foot. The Zambian safari guides are highly knowledgeable and many camps have excellent community foundations running schools and clinics. A week's safari with economy flights from London return will cost from £3000 per person, dependant on the season and camps chosen. Here are our two suggested safaris, one in the Green Season suitable for December to April, and the other Two Rivers suitable from May to October. ________________________________________________________________ |

Fugitives' Drift Lectures in UK
In 1879 the British army invaded Zululand. The central of three columns forded the Buffalo River at Rorke's Drift. Within days Lord Chelmsford's invasion was in jeopardy. Part of his central column had been almost annihilated at Isandlwana in a battle rated as one of the greatest military disasters in British colonial history.
A few survivors struggled back into Natal across the mighty Buffalo River. Lieutenants Melvill and Coghill died in a gallant attempt to save the Queen's colours, earning the first posthumous Victoria Crosses in history.
A great wing of the Zulu army then went on to attack the British garrison at Rorke's Drift, where eventually the Zulu Impis were were beaten off in a battle that lasted all night. More VC's were awarded for valour in this battle than in any other battle in our history.
Listen to Rob Caskie, the senior guide at Fugitives' Drift Lodge giving a series of talks, whilst in the UK in late September & October 2010.
Dates and times are available at Fugitives' Drift Lectures or please call us for further information on telephone +44 01798867750 and we shall be glad to make the arrangements for you.
