Zambia

  • Another fantastic holiday. Thank you Michele!! (where to next?). Zambia is a beautiful country with very diverse scenery and landscapes. The variety of wildlife in South Luangwa was amazing. Almost leopards to order. Victoria Falls is simply stunning and must for everyone. Kaingo: Almost perfect. The staff are so welcoming and make you feel part of the family. Food is excellent and the wildlife viewing is second to none. A place to revisit for sure. Kasaka River Lodge: Great location and good facilities. Most impressed by the employment of local people in all positions including management. Siankaba: Beautiful. Didn’t really want to leave. All the staff were very welcoming and couldn’t do enough to make our stay comfortable. Once again thank you Michele. I know we’ll be making plans again with you soon.

Introduction

Introduction to the magical and beautiful country of Zambia

Zambia today is still a traditional safari destination, offering a wide range of safari activities and experiences within an intimate and professional tourism industry. Most Zambia safari lodges and camps are small, many are still owner run, and you tend to leave as a friend rather than a paying client. Traditional values of personal service still exist, as do high standards of wildlife guiding.

Zambia is definitely a destination to consider for outdoor enthusiasts, and those who wish to really immerse themselves in wild Africa. While general game-viewing is excellent in a number of parks, the country is best known for offering fantastic walking safaris, incredible water-based activities (canoeing, boating and fishing on the Zambezi River), superb guiding and the wonderful hospitality mentioned above. The range of activities on offer makes Zambia an excellent destination for active visitors and families with older children.

Zambia is also an exclusive safari destination, with vast areas of pristine wilderness and relatively little evidence of mass tourism. Zambia’s premier safari region is the South Luangwa National Park, backed up by the beautiful Lower Zambezi and wild Kafue national parks. Between them, these parks offer a wonderful diversity of habitat and safari experience. More specialist destinations can include North Luangwa, Kasanka, Bangweulu, Lochinvar and Liuwa Plains. Victoria Falls, the world’s widest waterfall, are a major attraction and to see them in full flood from the air is one of Africa’s greatest sights.

If you are looking to immerse yourself in the natural world and enjoy some of the best guiding and hospitality that Africa offers, then Zambia is the ideal destination.
