Zambia

Famous for an exceptionally high standard of guiding, and famous for its walking safaris, Zambia offers fantastic safari holidays away from mainstream safari circuits. A well suited destination for those after a little extra adventure.

Our Take

If you love exploring the wildest corners of Africa, then a Zambia safari is for you. The great Kafue and Luangwa rivers breathe life into the central parts of the country. At the same time, the lazy Zambezi River flows along the southern border with Zimbabwe and plunges into the Victoria Falls near the town of Livingstone.

Zambia is famous for its incredible walking safaris, particularly in the South and North Luangwa national parks, where you can truly disappear into the wilderness, connect with nature and disconnect from the world of e-mail, at least for a little while.

We love:
Home to the Luangwa Valley, urguably the best destination in Africa for walking safaris.
Key locations:
Kafue National Park, North and South Luangwa Valley National Parks, Lower Zambezi, Kasanka National Park, Victoria Falls.
Key experiences:
Leopard sightings on spot-lit night drives, walking safaris, witnessing the fruit bat migration in Kasanka, canoe safaris.
