Alendo's Vakasha Tour Packages

Vakasha in local lingo means 'vacation', or moving from one location to another (a relay) and Alendo's speciality is giving you a taste of different camps in several destinations to give you a deeper experience of each place.

Located in the centre of this vast and beautiful continent, we are ideally suited to fashioning a tour experience that will, quite simply, be unforgettable.

Zambia is known as "The real Africa" - not only because of its rich and varied cultures, but also because of the incredible variety of scenery, wide ranging climatic conditions, the rich tapestry of its history, and probably most famously, the vast flora and fauna that is found here. The variety and beauty of its birds and wild animals is best seen in the tours we take to many Game Reserves and Lodges that are spread almost all over the country. 

Alendo Travel and Tours will tailor tour itineraries to suite your individual needs. Below are just some of the tour packages we offer.
