About this experience

Don't just "see" Africa... experience it with Mikango Safari Tours.
Give your family an experience they will treasure forever. Imagine waking up and drinking your morning coffee while watching a family of elephants drinking from the river just 150 feet from your campsite, while graceful giraffes look on and monkeys scamper about. If you want this incredible experience, select our new Riverbend Bush Camp option. Is that TOO close to nature? Select our hard-walled cottage house accommodation instead. Unlike most operators, our EXPERT SAFARI GUIDES hold the highest available certification issued by the Zambian government to keep you amazed, enthralled and entertained in safety and comfort during our guided driving wildlife tours. You will see lions, elephants, giraffes, monkeys, wart hogs, hyenas and more animals than you can count. Time to make some memories!
