This Zambia safari offers you a chance to experience some of the most diverse scenery and wildlife seen anywhere in Africa. Two of Africa's most famous rivers, the Zambezi and the Luangwa are a lifeblood offering sustenance to huge numbers of wildlife including record-breaking pods of hippo and huge herds of elephant.
First up, the South Luangwa is known for its big cat sightings and is often referred to as the Valley of the Leopard. It is here that the legendary Norman Carr pioneered the walking safari and conservation-based tourism in Africa. You will stay at 2 Time+Tide bush camps in the park where the guides offer a raw, authentic safari experience. You will then move on to the magnificent Lower Zambezi National Park and Anabezi Camp. Overlooking a mosaic of islands on the Zambezi River, that are home to a herd of elephant bulls, you'll have nothing less than viewing pleasure from the sun deck and pool on the water's edge. Both areas are explored to the full in unique and diverse activities ranging from walking and traditional game drives to boating, canoeing, and fishing.
