Zambia Destinations

Wild, beautiful and wonderfully uncrowded, Zambia offers a different kind of African safari. Vast national parks, powerful rivers and remote wilderness areas create opportunities to experience wildlife in places that still feel genuinely untouched. From traditional game drives to walking safaris, river experiences and canoeing, Zambia offers an immersive way to explore Africa's wilderness.

Zambia Wildlife

Zambia is home to an extraordinary diversity of wildlife, including elephants, lions, leopards, hippos, crocodiles, wild dogs and numerous antelope species, together with exceptional birdlife. South Luangwa is particularly renowned for leopard sightings and walking safaris, while the Lower Zambezi provides the opportunity to experience wildlife both on land and from the Zambezi River. Kafue National Park offers an even more remote wilderness experience across vast plains, woodlands and river systems.

Victoria Falls & The Zambezi

At the heart of a journey through Zambia is the mighty Zambezi River. It shapes much of the country's landscape and eventually reaches Victoria Falls, known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya, "The Smoke that Thunders." Livingstone provides access to the Zambian side of the falls and experiences including guided tours, sunset cruises and scenic helicopter flights. Victoria Falls can also be easily incorporated into a longer African journey, making it a wonderful extension to a safari through Tanzania, Kenya or elsewhere in East Africa.

Safari Experiences in Zambia

Zambia is particularly renowned for walking safaris, giving travellers an opportunity to leave the vehicle behind and discover the wilderness on foot with experienced guides. Depending on the destination, a Zambia safari can also combine traditional game drives with boat safaris, canoeing and river cruises. Whether Zambia is the focus of your journey or part of a wider African safari, the country offers a wonderful combination of wildlife, landscapes and adventure.
