Zambia

The Zambian government has long recognised the economic importance of its wildernesses and is acutely aware of environmental concerns: almost 9% of the country is given over to national parks and game reserves.

Yet despite this, Zambia has a wonderful "wild" feel to it - it markets itself, we are pleased to see, as the "Real Africa"! What lodges and camps there are are superb - luxurious, authentic, intimate. Safari is done on foot as well as boat and vehicle. It is safari for the connoisseur.

Where to go: Victoria Falls

Known as 'the greatest known curtain of falling water on the planet', Victoria Falls is an impressive natural beauty. To appreciate the incredible power and raw energy you must witness it for yourself! Visitors can fly over the mighty falls with a helicopter, microlight or small-plane flight. There are walks through the rainforests surrounding the falls. Adventurous (foolhardy!) travellers can swim in the natural rock pools which are right beside the falls or even climb the steep 'Boiling Pot' route.

Zambia: What to do

Zambia is an excellent destination to experience a walking safari. There is nothing so exciting as a walk in the National Parks, the thrill of seeing big game up close and personal in the company of an expert local guide. They can explain the smaller things you find, explain tracking and the uses of plants. You hear the bird song and smell the smells of Africa (Not all good...)

The Lodges and Camps of Zambia

For our safari holidays in Zambia, we use a selection of the finest camps available. Two local companies, Robin Pope and Norman Carr have run safaris there for many years and offer a range of superb properties. Some are permanent, others seasonal but all offer a fantastic insight into Zambia and its flora and fauna.

In addition we use other selected independent properties ensuring we can always tailor a holiday to match your interests and requirements.

When to go to Zambia

Although Zambia lies in the tropics, the height of the plateau ensures that the climate is seldom unpleasantly hot, except in the valleys.

There are three seasons: the cool, dry winter season from May to September; the hot, dry season in October and November; and the rainy season, which is even hotter, from December to April.
