Zambia is one of Africa’s most authentic and adventurous safari destinations, offering you raw wilderness, stunning landscapes, and unforgettable wildlife experiences. It is best known for its untouched national parks and immersive safari experiences that bring you closer to nature than almost anywhere else in Africa. Your journey in Zambia is highlighted by the world-famous Victoria Falls, one of the largest and most powerful waterfalls on Earth, known locally as “Mosi-oa-Tunya” or “The Smoke That Thunders.” Here, you can enjoy breathtaking viewpoints, helicopter flights, sunset cruises on the Zambezi River, white-water rafting, and other thrilling adventure activities.
Beyond the falls, Zambia offers exceptional safari experiences in destinations like South Luangwa National Park, widely regarded as one of Africa’s best walking safari locations, and Lower Zambezi National Park, where canoe safaris allow you to explore wildlife along the riverbanks in a peaceful and scenic setting. Whether you are planning an adventure safari, luxury holiday, Victoria Falls experience, or wildlife exploration, Zambia offers you a powerful and immersive African journey filled with nature, adventure, and unforgettable encounters in truly wild landscapes.

FAQs/Essential Information
Everything you need to know before you go.
Why is Zambia considered the "home of the walking safari"?
expand_more
Zambia pioneered the concept of the walking safari in South Luangwa National Park. Unlike traditional game drives, walking safaris allow you to experience the bush from a ground-level perspective, focusing on tracking, birdlife, and the intricate details of the ecosystem that you often miss from a vehicle.
What is the best time of year to visit Zambia?
expand_more
The dry season, from May to October, is the prime time for wildlife viewing as animals concentrate around the Luangwa and Zambezi rivers. If you are interested in the world-famous "Emerald Season" (December to April) when the landscape is lush, birding is spectacular, and water-based safaris in the Lower Zambezi are possible it is a fantastic time for the adventurous traveler.
Do I need a visa to enter Zambia?
expand_more
Most international visitors can obtain a visa upon arrival or apply for an e-visa online before travel. If your itinerary includes a visit to Victoria Falls, the KAZA Univisa is a highly recommended, cost-effective option that covers travel between Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Is Zambia a safe destination?
expand_more
Zambia is known for its warm, welcoming people and political stability. It is considered a safe destination for international travelers. As with any safari destination, we ensure you stay at vetted lodges and are accompanied by professional, licensed guides at all times.
What is the currency in Zambia, and should I carry cash?
expand_more
The local currency is the Zambian Kwacha (ZMW). While major lodges and hotels accept credit cards (Visa/Mastercard), you should carry some US Dollars (newer-series bills) for local markets, tipping, and visas.
Can I combine a Zambian safari with Victoria Falls?
expand_more
Yes, easily. The town of Livingstone is the Zambian gateway to Victoria Falls. We often design itineraries that combine a deep-bush experience in South Luangwa or Lower Zambezi with a luxury stay overlooking the Zambezi River near the falls.
Is malaria a concern in Zambia?
expand_more
Yes, malaria is present throughout Zambia. We strongly advise all guests to consult a travel clinic for anti-malarial prophylaxis and to follow standard precautions, such as using repellent and wearing protective clothing during the early mornings and evenings.
What should I pack for a Zambia safari?
expand_more
Pack lightweight, neutral-colored clothing (avoid blue and black as they attract tsetse flies in some areas). Comfortable, broken-in walking shoes are mandatory for walking safaris. Don't forget a warm layer for early morning game drives and a high-quality camera for the incredible wildlife sightings.
Is tipping expected?
expand_more
Tipping is a standard way to show appreciation for the high level of service in Zambia's bush camps. While not mandatory, it is customary to tip your guides, trackers, and camp staff. We provide our guests with a suggested tipping guideline to ensure you feel comfortable and prepared.
