Africa's best kept Secret

The Magic of the Secret Season

Ten percent of the country is protected by National Parks and Game Reserves; Mosi oa Tunya National Park at Victoria Falls, the floodplains of the Kafue, the Lower Zambezi National Park on the mighty Zambezi and the remote, unspoiled Luangwa Valley are home to a huge concentration of predators and other game species.

 

Canoeing on the great Zambezi River is one of Africa’s most unique experiences. Drift with the current, watching the bird life on the shore. Swish past pods of hippos and relax as the canoe allows you to view Africa in possibly the most non-invasive way possible. No previous canoeing skill is necessary as your fully trained professional guide takes good care of you. Walk among Africa’s big and small game in an untamed area, with the security of an expert naturalist and armed guard. This form of safari dramatically heightens the senses and creates exciting experiences not possible in a vehicle. Remote tented camps and luxurious lodges will complement the spectacular experiences on the Zambezi, and game drives and walking safaris will complete this amazing trip. Your Zambia safari will be a once in a lifetime experience! From a vehicle you can see Africa - On foot you will feel, hear and smell Africa.

ZAMBIA SAFARI HIGHLIGHTS

Zambia is perhaps Southern Africa's best kept secret, but it is increasingly becoming a known secret in recent years. Traditionally, Botswana and South Africa have been two of the region's most popular wildlife and safari destinations. However, Zambia is fast becoming an excellent alternative for a variety of wildlife encounters. 

Despite being known for the stunning Victoria Falls, the entire country has an incredible variety of topography and habitats, which combined with the tropical climate make it the ideal safari holiday destination for enthusiasts looking for a truly African experience. Over a third of the country is protected within wildlife management areas in Zambia's 20 national parks.

  • Experience South Luangwa on a guided walking safari. An incredible opportunity to experience this pristine wilderness up close.

 

  • The Busanga Plains are Zambia's most significant wetlands and the best place to see wildlife. Predators include wild dogs, lion prides and cheetah.

 

  • Kafue National Park is one of the largest and least visited national parks in Zambia.
    This region is still incredibly wild and there are only a few luxury tented camps

 

  • Kasanka National Park hosts 10 million straw-coloured fruit bats every year.
    It is known as the largest mammal migration in the world! OMG!

 

  • Lower Zambezi is a stunning reserve that runs along the wide, blue Zambezi River.
    We offer canoe safaris, game drives, and nature walks.

 

  • Enjoy a relaxing stay at one of the wonderful Zambezi lodges just upstream from the mighty Victoria Falls.
