To complement the development of their new camps - Kwena Lagoon in South Luangwa National Park, and Toka Leya in Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park outside Livingstone - Wilderbess Safaris have created a simplified flying circuit for Zambia in 2008.
They will be using Sefofane primarily to service the Kafue National Park and all of its camps. They have increased the initial 2008 rates on the Kafue schedules in order to increase the fleet to 1 Cessna Caravan and 3 Cessna 206 aircraft which will assist in providing an improved service. This simpler circuit also means that, by using Sefofane and a combination of other services such as the Zambian Airways schedules and Proflight seat rates, Wilderness can provide you with a variety of itinerary possibilities depending on the arrival/departure details of guests, camp/flight availability and the areas which people wish to visit.
The Zambian fleet, one 206 will be based in the Kafue for shuttle runs between the three airstrips: Lufupa, Lunga and Busanga (Shumba, Kapinga and Busanga Bush Camp). Another 206 will be based in South Luangwa for shuttle runs between Luamfwa (Kalamu and Kwena Lagoon) and Mfuwe. And the remaining 206 and Caravan will service the Lusaka - Kafue and Livingstone - Kafue return routes. They will continue to base a helicopter on the Plains for shuttles
directly to the camps from the new Busanga airstrip.
So in short, the 2008 Sefofane service will operate on the following routes:
Lusaka - Kafue - Lusaka: daily schedules on seat rates
Livingstone - Kafue - Livingstone: daily schedules on seat rates
Luamfwa - Mfuwe - Luamfwa: daily shuttles on seat rates
Lunga - Busanga - Lufupa - Lunga: daily complimentary shuttle service easily enabling guests to visit more than one camp in this vast Kafue area
Busanga airstrip - Busanga Plains camps (Shumba, Kapinga, Busanga Bush Camp): Busanga airstrip daily helicopter shuttle service on seat rates.
Please remember that because of the vastness of Zambia, guests will experience only one activity on a travel day because moving from one Zambian park to the next takes time. Of course everyone wants to try and ensure that people get the most out of their time in Zambia, but on a day where you are moving from one area to another, you will not have a full day's activities (which one is missed will depend entirely on the route and times that they are using
on their itinerary).
