Zambia Accommodation
Zambia Lodges & Camps
A land competing with the best when it comes to wild and action packed safaris, Zambia offers a world of exploration and adventure. While sharing the mighty Zambezi River and Victoria Falls with Zimbabwe, Zambia also has some truly wild and spectacular destinations of its own. With some magical national parks offering great wildlife experiences, Zambia has developed a name for its excellent guides, and exciting safari activities. Due to the remoteness of the parks in Zambia, fly-in safaris are popular, although mobile road safaris are available.

Kafue National Park
At 22 500 square kilometres, Kafue National Park is Zambia's biggest, and large tracts of this remain relatively unexplored. The park is easily accessible, with daily flights carrying tourists in to various airstrips. However, for the size of the park, the visitor numbers are still low enough to consider the area truly wild. Kafue has a phenomenal diversity of wildlife, and any visit here will amaze even the experienced safari-goer.
Livingstone
The Livingstone area, named after the famous explorer David Livingstone, is Zambia's tourism hub and the gateway to the Zambian side of Victoria Falls. The town itself has a charming colonial atmosphere, with tree-lined streets, a small museum, and a lively craft market. The main attraction is, of course, Victoria Falls, and the Zambian side offers a more intimate and less crowded experience than the Zimbabwean side, with the option to swim in the famous Devil's Pool right at the edge of the falls during the dry season. Beyond the falls, Livingstone offers a range of adventure activities, including bungee jumping, white-water rafting, sunset cruises on the Zambezi, and helicopter flights over the falls.
Lower Zambezi National Park
The Lower Zambezi National Park is one of Zambia's finest safari destinations, situated on the northern bank of the Zambezi River, directly opposite Zimbabwe's famous Mana Pools National Park. The park's relatively compact size and diverse habitats make for exceptional game viewing, with large herds of elephants, buffalo, and hippos frequently seen along the river, and predators including lions and leopards roaming the flood plains and woodlands. What sets the Lower Zambezi apart is the variety of activities on offer, from traditional game drives to canoeing on the Zambezi, fishing for tiger fish, and boat cruises. The combination of land and water-based activities, set against the dramatic backdrop of the Zambezi escarpment, makes the Lower Zambezi one of Africa's most rewarding and versatile safari destinations.
North Luangwa National Park
South Luangwa National Park
South Luangwa National Park is widely regarded as one of the greatest wildlife sanctuaries in Africa, and is the birthplace of the walking safari. The park's concentration of wildlife, particularly during the dry season when animals gather along the Luangwa River, is extraordinary. Leopards are frequently seen here, and South Luangwa is considered one of the best places in Africa to spot these elusive cats. The park is also home to large populations of hippos, elephants, giraffes, and a unique subspecies of giraffe known as the Thornicroft's giraffe. Night drives are permitted in the park, offering the chance to see nocturnal species. The small town of Mfuwe serves as the gateway to the park, with a selection of lodges and bush camps located both inside and outside the park boundaries.
