Zambia
Walk with wildlife in Zambia’s Luangwa Valley National Park, marvel at Victoria Falls, explore the Lower Zambezi.
The jewel in Zambia’s crown is without doubt the scenic wonder of the Victoria Falls. But the country also offers fabulous game viewing without the crowds, in truly wild, game-rich national parks where the walking safari was born.
The beautiful South Luangwa National Park and the more remote North Luangwa National Park have a number of comfortable lodges and rustic safari camps clustered along the languid, hippo-filled Luangwa River. Walking safaris with an armed ranger are a specialty of the area. The Lower Zambezi National Park bordering the vast and powerful Zambezi River, is another mecca for wildlife. Intimate and stylish camps here offer guests a range of guided activities including game drives, walking safaris, river cruises, fishing and canoeing.
