Zambia

A safari in Zambia is a truly wild, romantic and off the beaten track experience. Named after the mighty Zambezi River, the country set aside a staggering 32% of its land for conservation. Offering beautiful scenery, extraordinary game viewing, pristine wildernesses, exceptional safari guides, superb luxury lodges and intimate bush camps, a safari in Zambia is an adventure.

Walking safaris are Zambia’s forté. On foot, your senses are heightened; watching and listening for tell-tale signs adds that extra thrill. In addition, the camps and lodges offer boating, canoeing, day and night game drives, hot-air ballooning and photographic hides. Generally, game viewing is most rewarding between the dry season months of June and October.

Known for its impressive cheetah and lion populations, Kafue National Park differs scenically from Zambia’s other national parks due to its expansive wetlands.
