Immerse yourself in untouched Africa. Less developed than its neighbors, Zambia offers an "off the beaten track" safari experience far from the crowds. Walking safaris were pioneered in Zambia and are a specialty of the region, operating mostly in the pristine South Luangwa National Park. Canoe safaris operate on the Zambezi River which forms Zambia's southern border with Zimbabwe.
Places of Interest
South Luangwa National Park
Walking safaris were pioneered in this ecologically unspoiled national park. While exploring on foot, you are surrounded by the sights, sounds and smells of the bush as you track and approach game from safe distances under the watchful eye of an armed professional guide. You will find these plains and woodlands home to a great diversity of game and bird life. South Luangwa is also well known for its night game drives and excellent leopard sightings.

Lower Zambezi National Park
This is Zambia’s newest Park and as such is still relatively undeveloped, but its beauty lies in its absolute wilderness state. The diversity of animals is not as wide as the other big parks, but the opportunities to get close to game wandering in and out of the Zambezi channels are spectacular. The Park lies opposite the famous Mana Pools Reserve in Zimbabwe, so the whole area on both sides of the river is a massive wildlife sanctuary. Enormous herds of elephant, some up to 100 strong, are often seen at the rivers edge. ‘Island hopping’ buffalo and waterbuck are common. The park also hosts good populations of lion and leopard and listen too for the ubiquitous cry of the fish eagle.

North Luangwa National Park
Very remote with very few camps and a focus on walking safaris. The beauty of visiting this park is the truly remarkable opportunities to experience Africa as it was. It is wild and untouched and you are simply an unobtrusive witness to its natural beauty and drama. There are a number of tributary rivers running through the park and into the Luangwa River which play an important ecological role in the Area. The crystal clear Mwaleshi river trickles down the escarpment in a series of small waterfalls. It recedes in the dry season, leaving many pools along the way, drawing the animals from the bush to its banks in search of water.

Lochinvar National Park
A World Heritage Wetland Site situated on the Kafue River floodplain mid way between Livingstone and Lusaka, the Park is now the last stronghold of the Kafue Lechwe, an aquatic antelope of extraordinary grace. At high water, massive herds may be seen along the upper floodline and in the open grassland further south. As the floods recede the herds move north into the grassy floodplains. They feed on grasses and herbs in water up to a meter deep and are often seen wading or swimming in the Chunga Lagoon.
