A Zambia Exploration

Game drives in Kafue National Park offer a chance to explore one of the country’s largest and most diverse wildlife reserves. Morning and afternoon drives in open 4x4 vehicles traverse open plains, woodland, and riverine habitats, providing excellent opportunities to spot lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and a wealth of antelope species. The timing and focus of drives are influenced by the seasons: during the dry months (May to October), wildlife concentrates around water sources, making sightings more predictable, while the rainy season (November to April) transforms the park into a lush, green landscape but restricts access to many areas, leading to seasonal closures of certain camps. Your guide will tailor each drive to the conditions and your interests.

Located on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, the town of Livingstone provides easy access to Victoria Falls, the largest sheet of falling water in the world. You explore the Falls from the either side, or both, with guided tours, rainforest walks, lunar rainbow night tours, and visits to nearby villages to experience local culture. There's also a variety of activities to enjoy in the area, including dining with local families, sunset steam train rides, tram tours, shopping in markets and galleries, cycling along the river, and fishing or quad bike tours. River cruises are a serene way to reveal wildlife while adrenaline seekers can participate in white-water rafting, canoeing, helicopter flights over the Falls, and thrilling activities on Batoka Gorge such as bungee jumping, zip-lining, gorge swings, and family-friendly canopy tours. Wildlife enthusiasts can enjoy morning and afternoon game drives, walking safaris, and birding in Zimbabwe’s Zambezi National Park and Zambia’s Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park.

Witness the breathtaking majesty of Victoria Falls, a World Heritage Site straddling the borders of Zimbabwe and Zambia. Named by David Livingstone after Queen Victoria and known locally as "Mosi-oa-Tunya" or "The Smoke that Thunders," these falls captivate with their 1700-meter-wide, 100-meter-deep cascade, especially during the February to May flood season when 500 million liters of water plummet each minute. During the approximately 4.5-hour tour, your guide will provide insights into the falls' history and natural wonders. Traverse scenic rainforest pathways, pausing at iconic viewpoints like the Knife Edge Bridge and Lookout Tree, offering panoramic vistas of the Eastern Cataract and the Boiling Pot. Each viewpoint provides a unique perspective on this breathtaking natural wonder, ensuring an unforgettable experience year-round.

A boat cruise reveals the magic of the Zambezi River, drifting past hippos and basking crocodiles, herds of elephants, and antelope in numbers, as well as a dazzling abundance of bird species. Running from two to four hours, cruise options include breakfast, lunch, sundowner, and dinner cruises as well as more focused bird-watching cruises. Whether you choose to explore the islands above the Falls; take a breakfast cruise to experience the river waking up; or an elegant dinner as the sun sets behind the silhouettes of elephants, this legendary river will leave you with indelible memories.
