An exclusive journey through the landscapes that inspired the BBC Kingdom series

No body can say animals are the same from one area to another. Four years of learning and getting an inside view of four large predators from one area has uncovered astounding facts about each. The study of these animals supremely adapted to their own patches is an eye opener. This safari is loosely based on exploring the Nsefu Sector as seen in the Kingdom documentary, narrated by the renowned Sir David Attenborough – the world according to these four characters in their interwoven web.

Visit these characters’ territory for a closer, more in-depth understanding of their lives. BBC Natural History traversed this area for 4 long years following these lions, hyenas, leopards and wild dogs each fulfilling their role as apex predators. During this time, they documented some unusual behaviour.

Highlights:
You will be led by our highly seasoned and passionate guide, Keyala ‘Kiki’ Phiri. He will walk you through this journey for the entire 7 days in the Nsefu Sector. Plus, interaction with Will and Lianne Steenkamp, filmmakers of the documentary and time with Zambia Carnivore Program team (wildlife researchers focused on the carnivores of the Luangwa and greater Zambia).
