Zambia

ZAMBIA SAFARIS SUMMED UP: The Zambian guides are the best in Africa thanks to extra strict guiding exams, walking here is magical as the game is abundant and terrain varying from the rivers and leopard of the South Luangwa, to the wetlands of the Lower Zambezi National Park, and the vast remote plains of Kafue – and of course, not forgetting the mesmerising Victoria Falls. Zambia is slowly but surely building a name for itself as Africa’s top safari destination, we advise that you get there before it’s discovered!

GET OUT INTO THE WILDS: Walk and sleep under the stars in the South Luangwa, take a balloon safari over remote Kafue, see the second largest wildebeest migration in Liuwa, see the bat migration in Kasanka, spend the night in a village near Luangwa.

Zambia is perhaps most famous for the awe inspiring Victoria Falls, however it is fast becoming known as one of Africa’s most spectacular wildlife destinations, with remote corners that offer un-compromised wildlife viewing. The Zambian culture is rich and colourful, and traditional ceremonies can be seen round the country, and offer a fantastic insight into the tribal nature of Zambia. Traditional arts here are skilled and accessible, offering modern artefacts made by traditional routes.

Zambia consists mostly of high plateau, some hills and mountains, and is dissected by river valleys. Zambia’s two major river basins, the Zambezi basin and the Congo basin form havens for wildlife. Zambia’s most famous safari destinations are the famous Luangwa Valley, the Lower Zambezi and Victoria Falls – these areas combine to create one of the ultimate bespoke safari tours in Africa, with very few people for miles around.
