Zambia is a country without limits and is rich in diversity.
If you have a love for the wildness and safari and are keen to explore authentic Africa, Zambia could be perfect for you; simply disconnect from wifi and immerse yourself in nature.
The Lower Zambezi is one of our favourite national parks; you can be walking with big game just after dawn, tiger fishing later that morning, and head out on a game drive in the afternoon before enjoying sundowners on the banks of the river.
Zambia is without doubt one of the more seasonal safari destinations within Africa, with large parts of the country inaccessible during the summer rains, although some camps do remain open. The “shoulder” seasons of April-June and November offer some of the best value safaris anywhere in Africa with amazing wildlife sightings on offer, whilst the peak season is as good as anywhere that the continent has to offer.
