BONGWE SAFARIS

Your Livingstone, Kafue, and Chobe Safari Experts

Welcome

Bongwe Safaris was established in 2009 by Alec Cole and Jon Benbow and has, since then, grown from a mobile safari outfit consisting of a bus and game drive vehicle, to multiple safari options and a bar in Livingstone, as well as various activities in Livingstone and the Victoria Falls.

Whether you are looking for a weekend break, something to do whilst in the area, or a full blown adventure holiday, Bongwe offer something for everyone.

Safaris With Bongwe

We operate our own safaris in the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park in Livingstone. Set along the banks of the Zambezi River above the Victoria Falls, the park hosts an abundance of African wildlife. Enjoy a morning or afternoon game drive and, if you wish, combine it with a walking safari and/or a Zambezi River Cruise. All morning safaris include a bush breakfast and afternoon trips include sundowners on the banks of the Zambezi. All Bongwe Safari trips include an encounter with the only wild rhino in Zambia.

Other Livingstone Activities

With so much to do in Livingstone, you would be forgiven for not being sure where to spend your precious time and money. That is where Bongwe come in. We will only offer the activities that we feel are not only value for money, but also great fun. What you see on our website are the activities we have given a thumbs up to thus far. As time goes on we will be adding more as and when we have sampled the offerings.

We had such a fantastic safari experience with Bongwe and our guide, Alec. Highly recommended!

Wild Kafue Safari with Bongwe Safaris
2 Nights, 3 Days

Wild Kafue Safari

The Kafue is one the last remaining safari destinations in Africa where you can go the whole day without seeing another vehicle. It is because of this that this hidden gem is proving to be the last truly wild safari adventure available in Africa. Look out for lion and leopard and, if you are lucky you may spot the elusive cheetah – the only place in Zambia where you will see cheetah. Spend 3 days in a truly wild and untouched setting.
