Zambia is regarded by many as one of the last true wildernesses and this continent’s greatest secret. Visitor numbers are small and her vast areas of pristine wilderness have remained unchanged for millennia. The opportunity to explore these areas and see the wildlife without sharing the experience with many others is a privilege that’s hard to find these days.

Zambia is a diverse nation comprised of myriad tribes, each of which speaks its own language, in addition to one of the seven official languages, including English. The Zambians are a greatly happy and friendly people who welcome visitors to their beautiful home.

South Luangwa

Just a one hour flight from Lusaka, the South Luangwa is known for its big cat sightings and often referred to as the Valley of the Leopard. Boasting one of the highest wildlife densities in Africa, with lions, wild dog, large herds of elephants, buffalo and plains game, it is also home to several endemic species, such as the Thornicroft’s giraffe, Crawshay’s zebra and Cookson’s wildebeest. The beautiful Luangwa River, winding through the park, creates prime game viewing opportunities, especially in the dry season. It is in the South Luangwa that the legendary Norman Carr, one of our founders, pioneered the walking safari and conservation-based tourism in Africa. Zambia’s outstanding reputation of guiding is ever prevalent in our team with some of our guides having trained with Norman himself – Our guides don’t let the finer details in these vast spaces pass you by.

Lower Zambezi

Nestled between the imposing mountain escarpment to the north and the mighty Zambezi River to the south, the Lower Zambezi Valley has a variety of activities that few, if any, other destinations can offer. Stunning scenery, peaceful riverside woodlands and abundant wildlife provide a unique blend of a land- and water-based safari that’s both exhilarating and serene. The Lower Zambezi is just a short 30 minute flight from Lusaka, direct to elephant heaven. These gentle giants are prevalent in the valley, also home to healthy populations of lion, leopard, wild dogs, hippos and incredible birdlife. The opportunity to explore by canoe, boat or on foot add a sense of adventure and variety to game drives. Our guides strive to make each guest feel like they are part of the landscape and not a mere spectator.
