Zambia Safaris

Victoria Falls - ZambiaUp until the 1970's, Zambia was considered to have had some of the highest game populations in Africa; unfortunately, over-hunting and poaching have since decimated the game in many areas. Recently however, the Zambia safari industry has been steadily recovering, with fresh government controls and new safari camps being built in the Luangwa and Kafue Game Reserves. Today almost 30% of Zambia is under game management, making a safari to Zambia one of Africa's best.

The majestic Victoria Falls straddle the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. It is one of the Wonders of the World and proves to be a highlight on any Zambian safari. This beautiful country can be reached by scheduled flight from either Johannesburg, Harare or Windhoek to the Zambian capital of Lusaka, or fly to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, and transfer by road over the Zambezi to Livingstone.

The Zambia safari and tourism infrastructure are still relatively undeveloped; however, there is a small but sophisticated safari industry with excellent safari lodges and seasonal bush camps and some of the best African safari guides. African safaris in Zambia are ideally suited for "old Africa hands" or those seeking a remote and more exclusive African safari.

A vast grassy plateau dominates the country, with the prime wildlife regions being concentrated around the Luangwa, Kafue and Zambezi water systems. While not sharing the game diversity of some of its neighbors, Zambia's wildlife concentrations are impressive and a safari to Zambia is ideal for specialists seeking specific African game species or bird life on a brilliant scale.

Zambia is the home of the modern walking safari and it offers some of Africa's best traditional walking safaris, particularly in the Luangwa Valley. Night drives are another specialty of the Zambia safari and they provide arguably the best means for seeing some of the Zambia's elusive nocturnal safari species, including leopard.
