Nowadays, it’s possible to go on safari without sacrificing an ounce of comfort; however, staying in luxury safari camps and lodges with polished marble and enclosed glass walls can sometimes defeat the purpose of immersing yourself in the African bush. For those adventurous travelers who want to go back to the basics of safari, Zambia is the place.
Large concentrations of wildlife, active adventure, and exclusivity define a safari in Zambia. It is the last of the great old-school African safari experiences, successfully combining comfort and service with terrific game viewing in varied and beautiful landscapes.
Zambia is a down-to-earth experience which may include walking trails, canoeing, and boating alongside crocs and hippos. Adrenaline activities such as rafting and bungee jumping are widely available to the intrepid explorer. Zambia is a destination of immense beauty and opportunity – soul food for all who arrive with an open heart.
Kafue National Park, Zambia
South Luangwa, Zambia
Zambia is a paradise for guests wanting to immerse themselves in wilderness. The wildlife experience is incredible and we recommend it as much for first time safari-goers as seasoned veterans. Enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of the wild without the interference of civilization or crowds. You can interact with local owners, trackers, and rangers on a personal basis and get a feel for the real Zambia.
Many travelers are drawn to Livingstone, home of the UNESCO World Heritage Victoria Falls. It offers magnificent views of the Falls and is the spot for adrenaline sports and a host of fun activities.
For those looking for a more active safari experience, Zambia’s system of bushcamps in South Luangwa and North Luangwa means that travelers can walk from camp to camp to fully immerse themselves in the original safari experience. In the Lower Zambezi, water activities like canoeing, boating, and fishing, compliment traditional game drives and bush walks.
The Zambian dry season stretches from mid-April to mid-November after which many camps become inaccessible. October is great for elephant viewing, but beware that it gets hot. Air conditioning is almost non-existent in many of the camps.
We recommend July to September as a good time to travel because the land is dry and game viewing is good during this peak season.
If you have a sensitive budget, the shoulder season (May/June) offers lower rates and great value for money.
The green season, December to April, is terrific for birdlife. Many of the more remote bush camps are closed during these months due to inaccessibility, but there are still plenty of options.
The best whitewater rafting times are straight after the rainy season (March – May) and guests are assured of a longer river run and high water.
Rates vary depending on the number of areas a person is visiting, the season and the method of transport. Zambia, while less expensive than other safari destinations, is not a budget holiday.
As a rule, high season (July to October) can cost from $800 per person per night at a property like Tusk & Mane, to $1,600 per person per night at Chinzombo. Most of the ‘five star’ bush camps (such as those by Bushcamp Company, Norman Carr, and Robin Pope Safaris) are around $1,000 per person per night. Low season (January to March) ranges from $500 – $600 at mid-range camps to $800 at the high-end camps.

Sausage Tree Camp – Lower Zambezi, Zambia
Float down the mighty Zambezi River
Visitors to Zambia will get to see crocodile, hippo, baboon, monkeys, buffalo, lion, elephant, leopard, hyena, wild dog and cheetah as well as many antelope and a variety of birds. You will not see cheetah in Lower Zambezi or South Luangwa. Rhino were declared extinct in Zambia in 1998. Thornicroft’s Giraffe and Crawshay’s Zebra are endemic to the area and you may also get to see badgers, civets, porcupines, and genets, plus countless other animal species on a safari in Zambia.
