CountryZambia
A wild and remote safari destination that boasts roaring rivers, mighty falls and breathtaking wildlife
Zambia, a landlocked country in southern Africa, is a remote and wildlife-rich safari destination that boasts 20 national parks, a range of diverse landscapes and immersive adventure experiences. As Lake Kariba spills into the Zambezi River, it snakes and tumbles off the roaring cliffs of Mosi-oa-Tunya (Victoria Falls), one of the seven natural wonders of the world. This then leads to the breathtaking Kafue National Park and Luangwa Valley — to name just a few — that boast bountiful predators, plenty of plains game and the mighty Big 5. Moreover, the warm hospitality of the Zambian people, rich cultural heritage, and traditional festivals add an authentic touch to the experience.

Best time to go to
Zambia is a fantastic safari destination and has something unique to offer year-round. Mosi-oa-Tunya (Victoria Falls) is best visited from about May to August. May to October marks the dry season and this is a great time to view wildlife as the vegetation is less dense. The rains tend to arrive in November and end in about April. This transforms the landscape into a lush oasis, bringing baby animals, abundant birdlife and plenty of predator activity with it.
