Zambia Safaris - An Overview


Zambia Overview

Remote, beautiful and birthplace of walking safaris.

Zambia can be split into four main areas - the Luangwa Valley, the Lower Zambezi, Kafue National Park and the upper Zambezi, home to the splendid Victoria Falls. Most visitors to Zambia spend a few days at Livingstone to see the Falls.

There are a number of lesser known areas, and Zambia is absolutely perfect if you're trying to get off the beaten track - Liuwa Plains and Kasanka National Park are two of our favourites. An ideal destination for family safaris.

Zambezi River below Victoria Falls - Zambia or Zimbabwe side

It's the wildest one-day whitewater rafting trip in the world!

Better still, multi-day expeditions are run down the Batoka Gorge.  Reserve your place now.

No previous experience is required and you don't need to be a proficient swimmer. At the beginning and at the end of the half, one and 2.5 day raft trip, you will need to negotiate a steep path out of the gorge. The walk out is 750 vertical feet up a gradient of 1 in 3, and a person of average fitness can manage this in about 20 minutes.

Why go? The Liuwa Plains is an immense wilderness area, brimming with birds and home to huge numbers of animals. The landscape is completely flat and the skies vast - here you really are in the middle of wild, remote and isolated lands.
