ZAMBIA
HOME TO WALKING SAFARIS
One of Southern Africa’s wildest and most remote destinations, Zambia attracts the safari connoisseur as it offers abundant big game viewing and some of the best guides, but without the crowds. Explore diverse landscapes of winding waterways, sweeping valleys and oxbow lagoons as you spot some of Africa's most iconic wildlife. Victoria Falls is justifiably Zambia’s main crowd puller – born of the mighty Zambezi river. For the adventure-seeker, there’s rafting, gorge swings and bungee jumps or choose a gentler adventure with a scenic flight over Livingstone Island.

When to visit
Zambia has distinct green and dry seasons. The dry season is from May to October, and this is considered the best time to travel with peak game viewing, pleasant day-time temperatures, and minimal rainfall. The green season falls between December to April, offering lush landscapes and wildlife births - many camps close seasonally due to flooding.
