Practical advice and inspiration to help you prepare for your holiday
Home to some of the continent’s most spectacular game reserves, it’s no wonder that Zambia is one of our consultants’ favourites. The country is a pioneer of immersive walking safaris, and we’ll use our expertise and contacts to ensure you’re led by the most knowledgeable local guides in the best locations. We know the country inside out and will match your interests with the most suitable parks, whether you’re an avid bird watcher or a leopard lover. While on your trip, our in-country Concierges are always on hand to impart insider tips and tricks, as well as provide support should you need it.
The Lower Zambezi region is famous for its large herds of elephant and a sizeable population of the rare African wild dog, while the Luangwa Valley, which marks the southern end of the Great Rift Valley, is one of the continent's great unspoilt wildernesses. Its ox-bow lagoons, plains and woodlands host huge concentrations of game - including leopards, lions, giraffes, hippos and over 400 species of birds. From learning about the lives of termites to tracking buffalo and discovering unusual plants such as the sausage tree, a walking safari here represents a wildlife experience second to none.
Meanwhile, for anyone in search of a truly secret African destination, just 400 visitors a year make it to the Liuwa Plains, yet this region is home to the second biggest wildebeest migration (upwards of 65,000 on the move) in the world, plus superb birding opportunities and blossoming cheetah and wild dog populations.
Wildlife aside, Zambia is also home to one of the greatest sights in nature - the Victoria Falls, known by the much more apt name of Mosi-oa-Tunya ('the smoke that thunders') to the local Kololo tribe who first showed them to David Livingstone. When the Zambezi is in flood, the spray from the mile-wide falls as they plunge into the gorge below can be seen from miles away. The falls are a focus for all kinds of hair-raising activities, from white-water rafting to bungee jumping and the original gorge swing. Upstream, more sedate pastimes include canoe safaris and picnics on river islands.
Zambia is home to some of the finest National Parks and game reserves in Africa, such as the South Luangwa and the Liuwa Plain, as well as one of the continent's most iconic rivers - the Zambezi - which has its own national park and one of the most famous natural wonders of the world, the mighty Victoria Falls. All these spectacular destinations are easily combinable in one memorable itinerary.
