“Zambia, home to awe-inspiring natural wonders, is blessed with abundant wildlife and breath-taking landscapes, offering one of the finest safari experiences in Africa. “
In addition to sharing a border with the mighty Victoria Falls, there are also seventeen other natural waterfalls in the country which gives an indication of how beautiful this country is.
South Luangwa, Kafue and the Lower Zambezi are ranked as some of the finest wildlife reserves in the world. In addition to spotting the Big 5 guests can also see the second largest wildebeest migration in Africa which takes place in Liuwa Plains, a mesmerizing sight to witness.
Further up and down the Zambezi and around the Kafue and Luangwa Rivers, the focus shifts to luxury Zambian Safaris, with a wider range of ways to explore the wilderness on offer. Guided walks are the most popular, closely followed by drives – of both the day and night variety.
