SAFARI PACKAGE RATES
Safari package rates are quoted in USD, per person per night sharing, and include accommodation, two safari activities per day, all meals and snacks, laundry, and Mfuwe airport transfers. Rates are inclusive of applicable taxes.
ROOM ONLY & ACTIVITY RATES
Room only rates are quoted in USD, per person per night sharing, and include accommodation only. Activities, meals, and extras can be organised in camp at an additional cost.
All activities are shared, subject to availability, and require a minimum number of participants.
DRINKS, PARK FEES & EXTRAS
Drinks, government park entry fees, and associated park charges are excluded from all rates. Any extras incurred in camp must be settled before departure, either by cash or credit card (credit card payments carry a 3% surcharge). Park fees are paid separately, in cash only, upon entry to the park.
In line with current Bank of Zambia regulations, all payments made in Zambia must be settled in Zambian Kwacha (ZMW). Rates are quoted in USD for reference only; the amount charged in camp will be converted to ZMW.

TOUR LEADER POLICY
Tour leaders accompanying a minimum of six (6) full-paying guests are offered free accommodation in our dorm rooms and will be upgraded to guest accommodation on arrival pending availability. If you’d prefer guest accommodation to be guaranteed rather than offered on availability, guest rates will apply instead.
Tour leaders may join activities free of charge, subject to space and at the sole discretion of Lupande Safaris Limited, but are responsible for their own national park fees. Meals and drinks from the bar, and items of a personal nature such as shop purchases, are not included in any rate.
CHECK IN & CHECKOUT TIMES
Check-in is at 14h00 and check-out is at 11h00. We’ll always try to accommodate earlier arrivals or later departures where possible, though this can’t be guaranteed. Camp facilities & luggage storage is available for guests arriving early or departing late.
TRAVEL INSURANCE
All guests must have adequate travel and medical insurance, including emergency evacuation cover. Lupande Safaris Limited cannot be held responsible for the financial costs of evacuation, medical treatment, or any changes or problems arising in a guest’s travel plans.
