The Expedition

Phase 1: Acclimatisation

Acclimatise to life in Zambia by spending a day or two in Lusaka the capital city. Visit the markets and prepare as a team for your expedition.

Phase 2: Trek

Batoka Gorge trekking takes you along the Zambezi River, through its steep gorges and indigenous bush, passing by white water rapids. With beautiful scenery during the day and camping overnight under star-filled skies, this trek is sure to bring you closer to nature and Zambian rural life. Community walks are also a great way to pass between local villages around the Zambezi river.

Phase 3: Project

Working with our partner charity, School Club Zambia, teams can take part in school based projects. Projects in Zambia provide plenty of opportunity for interaction with local villagers and children. The SCZ works with a number of schools in Sinazongwe District, a peninsula on Lake Kariba, located in the Southern Province of Zambia. Teams can help with refurbishing school buildings, creating play areas, painting classroom walls or building animal shelters.

Phase 4: Culture & Review

Zambia is teeming with natural wonders and amazing wildlife. Teams can visit the mighty Victoria Falls, go on a day safari and even take a sunset cruise up the Zambezi River.
