VAST & UNTOUCHED

Explore an untamed Zambia safari

Discover the real version of Africa.

 

A safari in Zambia will see you travel from Livingstone, the country’s adventure capital where the Zambezi and Victoria Falls – or Mosi-oa-Tunya – provide endless thrills, to the exceptionally remote Busanga Plains in northern Kafue National Park. At 5.5 million acres, Kafue is one of the largest and oldest protected regions in Africa, and it is here you’ll thrill to encountering wildlife in the most natural, wild way.

ZAMBIA

Discover the mighty Zambezi

The Zambezi River is the perfect starting point for a Zambian safari. Do as the crocodiles do, and bask in the warmth on our river bank/beach, in the comfort of a plush bean bag. Let the sounds of the rushing river lull you into a complete state of relaxation. Set upstream of Victoria Falls, it’s the ideal place to share a sundowner with family, the sky turning as pink as the gin in your hand.

Zambia experiences

There are things to do in Zambia for both daredevils and the more refined thrill-seeker. Feel the spray of the ‘smoke that thunders’, or go boating at sunset along the mighty Zambezi.
