Zambia Holiday Ideas

Zambia is a land-locked, warm-hearted African country with an endless list of adventures on offer. Many tourists overlook Zambia as a wildlife destination in its own right, yet the nation is packed with natural delights, making it a superb and secret spot for a safari.

Carmine Bee-Eater The incredible cascade of Victoria Falls is, without doubt, Zambia's most famous attraction. However, if you take some time to really scratch under the surface, you'll find some real hidden gems. Zambia's National Parks are remote, authentic and truly wild. This is the place to escape into the very heart of Africa for a secluded safari in your own private wilderness. Leave the real world behind and enter a land of epic adventure.

On game drives, you will be astounded by the wildlife you will come across. Encounter huge herds of elephants, get close to families of lions, seek out the shy leopard and her cub hiding up a tree. Drive across open plains alive with giraffe, zebra, buffalo, and even wild dog. Zambia is brilliant birding territory too, so whatever you do, don't forget your binoculars!

Not only this, but Zambia is criss-crossed by rivers that create a wonderful natural habitat for all kinds of wildlife. During your stay, you can take a boat safari and watch elephants drinking at the water's edge, paddle silently in a canoe past crocodiles basking in the sunshine on the river bank, watch pods of hippo wallowing just beneath the water surface, and laugh at the monkeys scampering about in the overhanging trees.

Zambia is also the original home of the walking safari, so it's probably the best place on earth to walk out into the wilderness with some of the best trained guides in Africa.
