Zambia is often described as ‘the real Africa’ and offers the opportunity to experience large wild uninhabited and uncluttered expanses where one can truly be enthralled by an Africa of yesterday; massive wildlife areas, heart tearing beauty and the opportunity to immerse oneself in the very essence of remoteness, wildness and experience authentic safari unlike many other African destinations

The Liuwa Plains – Africa’s other Wildebeest migration! A great wilderness stretching out, with almost treeless plains as the herds of Wildebeest congregate with the fresh grasses to have their babies. Vast flocks of migratory birds bursting into the sunset over the bustling plains – the Liuwa Plains are one of Africa’s last remaining truly wild places.
​
The Luangwas – The South Luangwa Valley National Park is in my view one of Africa’s most iconic parks, with wildlife viewing and natural beauty that is hard to beat elsewhere. The Luangwa is a River that carves a new series of ways each year, creating new lagoons where on the valley floor the wildlife roams in abundance.

Kafue Nat Park – Kafue is one of Africa’s largest protected wildlife national parks and extends over 2 million hectares (20 000 sq Km). From the clay soils of the south to the central Riparian woodlands and onto the vast open plains of the Busanga in the north, the Kafue is everything beautiful, remarkable and wild. Home to an excellent array of the widest array of wildlife species in the southern region of Africa.

Best of Kafue National Park

Picture
​Kafue is one of Africa’s largest protected areas. It’s known for its abundant wildlife and the Kafue River, running north to south through the park. We move from South to North, covering very different  biomes and landscapes.
Starting the Safari on the banks of Lake Itezhi-Tezhi, with rich water and vast numbers of hippos. Staying in an exclusive camp booked out for our groups, we offer privately guided walks through this remarkable land, and the opportunity to partake in Aardvark tracking and the chance to see these rare creatures up close.
Moving north to the Fig tree forests of the Busanga swamps and out onto the Busanga Plains. Home to vast numbers of Southern Lechwe and other game. With very few tourists and so much to capture, this is a photographers dream.
* There is the option to add on Livingstone and the iconic Victoria Falls, if guests wish to do so. Staying at the Royal Livingstone Hotel. With a boat cruise, and a chance to visit Livingstone island.

Rivers and Plains

This highly sort after Safari, over 12 days, explores Africa’s other Wildebeest migration! A great wilderness stretching out, with almost treeless plains as the herds of Wildebeest congregate with the fresh grasses to have their babies. Vast flocks of migratory birds bursting into the sunset over the bustling plains. We spend 4 amazing nights here, combining 3 nights in King Lewanika Lodge and a night, camping out under the heavens. In the comfort of stretch tents out on the open plains of Africa. 
Flying onto the Lower Zambezi National Park in southern Zambia, on the Zimbabwean border. The Zambezi River valley is known for abundant wildlife, including buffalo and large herds of elephants. Canoes ply the river, which is home to hippos and crocodiles. We stay on the banks of the Zambezi River, the lodge gives us access to view wildlife from the land or water. Making this a unique location in both wet and dry seasons.

Luangwa Valley

​​The South Luangwa Valley National Park is in our view one of Africa’s most iconic parks, with wildlife viewing and natural beauty that is hard to beat elsewhere. The Luangwa is a River that carves a new series of ways each year, creating new lagoons where on the valley floor the wildlife roams in abundance. Home to the original walking safaris, this privately guided safari has it all! From walking, to open game drives and slow canoes down the river. This 12 day safari is a must do! Go up closer to wildlife than ever before! Staying in 4 different, beautiful locations giving our guests the best the Luangwa has to offer. We fly from here to the dramatic Victoria Falls. One of the seven natural wonders of the world. With privately guided walks to the falls, a boat cruise, and a chance to visit Livingstone island, the place at which Dr. Livingstone first witnessed the falls in November 1855.
