Why Choose a Zambia Safari?
Zambia is one of Africa’s most rewarding wilderness destinations, and its beauty lies in its wild and untamed landscapes. It’s praised for its vast national parks, fewer vehicles on game drives and a strong sense of remoteness. From the powerful flow of the Zambezi River to the open plains of South Luangwa and Kafue, Zambia offers a safari experience that feels slow and authentic.
Known for its excellent game viewing and walking safaris, you can expect to see animals like leopard, large herds of zebra, wildebeest and various antelope species that still roam the open plains of South Luangwa and Kafue National Park. The Zambezi River attracts large populations of hippos, crocodiles, tigerfish and birdlife. It is also home to the iconic Victoria Falls, one of Africa’s most striking natural landmarks.
Travelling with kids? Many private camps welcome children and adapt game drives and activities to suit different ages and interests, perfect for families looking for flexibility and a relaxed pace.
If you’re planning a classic Zambia safari or a tailored family itinerary, expect:
- Endemic wildlife such as Thornicroft’s giraffe, Cookson’s wildebeest and Crawshay’s zebra
- Vast, water-rich landscapes with a strong sense of wilderness
- Opportunities for walking safaris and river activities
- Fewer crowds and a more unhurried safari experience
