Zambia Safaris
Zambia is the true safari sweetheart, for those devoted to incredible wildlife action. For remote, low key, essenial style, you don’t get much better than this. Zambia has brilliant and beautiful, fabulously remote reserves, great walking, the best guiding and great value small, owner-run lodges.
Zambia is the land for safari-buffs, ideal for serious wildlife watchers with a will to walk, but with options that also do suit first-timers or those seeking a genuinely good value safari experience.
We love Zambia; nothing beats the Luangua Valley for safari satisfaction. The joys of this destination are probably preserved by the fact that it is gruelling to combine with beach breaks; those seeking seaside recuperation head to Zanzibar or Mauritius.It is worth stressing that although we do send first-timers, Zambia is best for second or third time safari goers who have already seen the big 5 and will therefore appreciate the opportunity of an unspoilt safari experience on foot and away from the crowds. Zambia’s national parks are all easy to combine with regular flights connecting them all daily. The safari lodges are also very good value for money, especially when compared with neighbouring Botswana 
North Luangwa is one of the few places left in Africa that can genuinely claim it is untouched. Miles from anywhere and only linked by flight or extensive skilled bush driving, the 'North park' is one of those places that safari nuts crave. North Luangwa is a walking park, a park that is utterly remote, wild and untrammelled - Africa in its wildest, purest form. A place for connoisseurs and people searching for true wilderness; a very special place indeed.
Regarded by safari fanatics as one of Africa’s best safari parks and widely recognised as the home of the walking safari, South Luangwa National Park is Zambia’s prime wildlife destination. The ‘South’ park has an abundance of game and a number of exceptional safari companies running beaufiul high quality small camps. The guiding here is some of the best to be found anywhere and we agree with the rumours, Luangwa is simply the best place in Africa to view leopard. 
Trapped between a vast escarpment and the mighty Zambezi river, the Lower Zambezi is without doubt one of Africa's most beautiful parks. The diversity of activities here is also wider than anywhere else on the continent - boating safaris, canoe trips, game drives at day and night and some fantastic walking areas combine with some of the worlds best Tiger fish fishing. In a nutshell, this is an outrageously good safari park, on all counts. 
Kafue is Africa's second largest National Park and is one of the few places that can genuinely be compared to the size of a small country; it's easy to get lost in areas of this park! The game is most impressive on the Northern Busanga Plains, where you will find the best camps, and safaris as great as those anywhere in the country. An undiscovered park, regarded by enthusiasts as a rare gem!
A selection of our current favourites... Zambia delights
What a setting and what a great little camp. Our last consultant here had thirty elephant in camp the day he was leaving and literally had to be picked up by vehicle from his room! Recently a vote in the office put Old Mondoro as one of our favourite adventurous camps in the whole of Africa.
What a truly exceptional camp! Tafika is one of the remaining owner run camps in Africa with John and Carol ever present. The result is a camp that genuinely cares for each and every one of its guests.
There are a few camps in Africa that have everything just right....Chiawa is without doubt one of these, regarded by us as one of the top lodges anywhere. The guiding is phenomenal, the location is perfect and this place is run by the family who are the main reason for the Lower Zambezi's success as a National Park.
