Feel the thunder of Victoria Falls on your skin, track leopards through South Luangwa’s riverine forests, and let the Zambezi’s slow current carry you into Africa’s wild heart.
Zambia is an exceptional safari destination for travellers seeking an authentic African adventure. Here, the wilderness feels raw, wild and wonderfully untouched. Known as the home of the walking safari, Zambia invites you to step away from the traditional game drive and experience the African bush on foot. Feel the excitement of tracking wildlife, follow ancient animal paths and discover nature at ground level. It is a destination where adventure takes centre stage and every encounter feels personal.
Escape the crowds and explore the pristine wilderness of South Luangwa National Park and the Lower Zambezi National Park. These spectacular regions offer exceptional wildlife viewing, beautiful river landscapes and guided experiences led by highly skilled safari guides. Enjoy walking safaris, canoe adventures and thrilling game drives in some of Africa’s most rewarding wildlife areas. In Zambia, luxury is not about extravagance alone. It is about intimate camps, exclusive experiences and a genuine connection with the natural world.
Livingstone
Livingstone – where the adventure begins with a bang – literally! To be fair, most of the time you are standing and gazing in awe at the power of the water, but there is so much more to do in Livingstone. The Zambezi is a great place to go for walks, boat trips, fishing trips, and all sorts of adventure activities. Most of all, though, we have loved soaking up the atmosphere of this lively little town and thinking, “Since we’re here… why not?”
Lower Zambezi
Lower Zambezi National Park is beautiful; the mighty Zambezi River flows before you, with the Zambezi escarpment on the other side. This is such a lovely place to be and to slow down. Our experience of Lower Zambezi was to go out on the river by boat and canoe and explore the area. This was such a different experience from going on a game drive in other national parks; we were able to get so close to hippos and even elephants as they came to drink from the river. Just be careful when in a canoe, as a hippo can be very curious!
Kafue National Park
Kafue National Park is a massive, remote wilderness area, far away from the masses. It is a place of open plains, woodland, rivers, and an array of wildlife. Game viewing can be unpredictable, and so each game drive is full of surprise. One moment you can be viewing a variety of antelope on the open floodplain, and the next you can be searching for predators in the bush. Kafue is a place where patience can be rewarded, and a pair of binoculars is essential.
South Luangwa
South Luangwa National Park is a very special place and gets under your skin. The landscape of the park and the Luangwa River is incredible, and there is an abundance of wildlife that you can see on game drives. For walking safaris, this is one of the best places in Africa as you leave the vehicle behind and experience the bush at ground level. Every rustle, footprint, and distant call is interesting. We have been on many walking safaris and have found ourselves walking quietly behind our guide, being totally absorbed in our surroundings. Just keep listening to your guide, as they will notice the leopard before you do!
