Africa's raw and remote safari destination.
Zambia is often famed as the last authentic African safari – or the real Africa. Certainly a hidden gem and a repeat safari destination for the most steadfast of safari lovers, it is arguably southern Africa’s wildest and most remote destination. Over 30% of the country is a protected game reserve, and much of the country is still unexplored. A range of simple, yet stylish and often luxurious bush camps and river lodges makes the raw beauty of Zambia accessible, yet it remains well under the radar so you will not have to share the experience with tourist hordes.

South Luangwa
ZAMBIA
South Luangwa National Park is a sanctuary of pristine wilderness and extraordinary biodiversity. Renowned as one of Africa’s top safari destinations, the reserve is spread across 9,050 square kilometers and characterized by its diverse habitats, including woodlands, grasslands, and the Luangwa River.
What sets South Luangwa apart is the remarkable population of wildlife, particularly predators like lions, leopards, and wild dogs. The park is also home to large herds of elephants, buffalos, and zebras, as well as over 400 bird species, making it a paradise for birdwatchers.
Perhaps the most exclusive activity for a Zambia safari is the walking safari, which was pioneered in the region. Led by experienced and armed guides, these on-foot excursions provide an intimate and heart-quickening look into this raw wilderness.
Lower Zambezi
ZAMBIA
Nestled along the banks of the mighty Zambezi River, the Lower Zambezi National Park covers an area of 4,092 square kilometers, filled with a rich tapestry of landscapes, from riverine forests to floodplains, each providing a haven for diverse wildlife.
One of the park’s defining features is its proximity to the Zambezi River, along which many of the bush camps and luxury lodges are positioned, providing the most spectacular views of what we call ‘Wilderness TV’. Boat safaris along the river equally offer a unique perspective, allowing gentle observation of elephants, hippos, and crocodiles thriving in their natural habitat.
Night drives are the top activity in this park, an opportunity to view predators on the hunt, and other more elusive nocturnal wildlife during their evening ministrations. And for those seeking adventure, canoe safaris down the Zambezi River are a must-do.
KAFUE
ZAMBIA
Zambia’s largest and oldest national park, Kafue sprawls across a vast 22,400 square kilometers. One of Africa’s largest protected areas, Kafue is a sanctuary of unparalleled wilderness – miombo woodlands, vast grassy plains and meandering river systems.
This Zambia safari destination is rich in wildlife numbers, including lions, leopards, elephants, and buffalos – as well as over 500 bird species recorded within its boundaries.
A highlight is the Busanga Plains, a large floodplain in the northern reaches of the park, where seasonal floods attract large herds of herbivores (which in turn attract predators!) providing unparalleled opportunities to see a hunt in progress.
