Holidays and Safaris in Zambia
Zambia is a far lesser known safari destination than the likes of Kenya, Tanzania or South Africa – and perhaps offers a more ‘raw Africa’ experience than any of these destinations. A safari here is a fabulous experience – away from the crowds, and with an exceptional range and volume of wildlife.
We have visited the South Luangwa National Park in Zambia, as well as the Victoria Falls at Livingstone, and will make personal recommendations on where to stay.
South Luangwa
The concept of walking safaris was developed in the South Luangwa Valley in Zambia, and the guides in the region are amongst the very best in Southern Africa. A walking safari stands apart from more normal safaris: the location deep in the African outback allows a far closer encounter with nature whilst you are very likely to see big game, including lion, leopard, elephant and hippo, you will also have time to stop and appreciate the plants, bugs and smaller mammals as well as the sounds and smells of the bush. It’s hard to beat the anticipation and excitement of hearing warning calls from baboons that normally signal the presence of a big cat. Guides will also point out plants that are delicacies for the wildlife and encourage you to taste seeds that are safe for consumption!
Lower Zambezi
The Lower Zambezi is a haven for wildlife, including elephant, hippo, buffalo, zebra, lion, leopard and various antelope species amongst many others. The river is a massive attraction of the area and provides opportunities for viewing wildlife from the water – in a boat or canoe – as well as on land with bushwalks and game drives.
Victoria Falls
Livingstone is the Zambian gateway to the Victoria Falls, and the vast array of activities available there. Activities on offer include white water rafting, helicopter flights over the Fall, abseiling, sunset cruises – amongst others. There are a range of lodges – some ultra-luxurious, set on the banks of the Zambezi River, which offer a truly romantic experience. Livingstone is also an excellent start or end to a safari in Zambia or Botswana.
