Walking safaris in Zambia

The landlocked country of Zambia is part of the high, undulating plateau that forms the backbone of Africa. The country has some spectacular scenery, including one of the seven natural wonders of the world – The Victoria Falls on the Zambezi River. Zambia is sparsely populated by over 70 ethnic groups and with its landscapes famous for walking safaris (as pioneered by the legendary conservationist, Norman Carr) it is easy to see why this land is often referred to as the ‘real Africa’.

Zambia is estimated to have almost 45% of the total water-resources of Southern Africa, making it a country rich in both flora and fauna. Zambia offers the traveller a range of beautiful safari locations but two worthy of note are the Luangwa Valley and the Lower Zambezi. The lush Luangwa Valley in north eastern Zambia marks the end of Africa's Great Rift Valley and it is one of the last unspoilt wilderness areas in Africa. The Lower Zambezi is where Zambia takes its name from and is a prime destination for boating safaris, bush walks and animal tracking. These parks are one of the world’s best locations for leopard viewing.

Planning your Safari to Zambia


When to travel? June to October are traditionally the best times to travel but each season has its own attractions and highlights depending on your interests. The emerald season - December to May is a particularly good time for birders and for the elusive wild dogs. This is also an excellent time for photographers, the dramatic skies and the restricted game movements make it easy to photograph large animals.

Wildlife and the national parks are Zambia’s biggest attractions and most visitors combine safari time in one or two parks with a visit to Livingstone for the Victoria Falls and perhaps beach time in neighbouring Lake Malawi. There are direct flights between London and Lusaka and regular connections from Johannesburg to Lusaka and Livingstone.

For the first time visitor or the seasoned Zambia traveller our Classic Zambia tour enables you to visit two of Zambia’s finest National Parks and the Victoria Falls staying in high quality camps and enjoying first class hospitality. For those with a real passion for the wilderness we suggest a Mobile Camping safari in South Luangwa. Walking is the focus of this active safari accompanied by some of the continent’s finest guides. Our North & South Luangwa tour offers a remarkable experience. The tour combines the best of South Luangwa with a visit to the untouched wilderness of North Luangwa, this is Africa, pure and simple for those wanting a sense of adventure and exploration.

You can extend your trip with a visit to Kafue National Park and/or the Livingstone for the Victoria Falls.
