Zambia
With some of Africa’s finest walking safaris and with some of the best guides and smallest camps on the continent, Zambia is well regarded as a connoisseur's destination. The Luangwa Valley, Lower Zambezi and Kafue are spectacular parks, with a wild, raw atmosphere that is rare elsewhere. Victoria Falls only adds to the Zambia's impressive list of attractions. With the full range of safari activities on offer, this is arguably the best value safari destination, and needless to say, we absolutely love it.
Is Zambia only for safari enthusiasts?
Zambia’s parks have time and time again exceeded our expectations. The very essence of safari is captured here; entire days can be spent without seeing a soul. Ultimately this is what makes the country so special; the seclusion Zambia offers and the untouched raw beauty of its parks. It is this that attracts safari purists. However, over the last few years Zambia has welcomed first time travellers, and not just safari buffs. The infrastructure and lodge quality, for so long lacking, will now compete with any of Africa's big name destinations and recent flights from the capital to Tanzania's coast mean that safari and beach is finally accessible. The game viewing here is prolific, with huge herds of elephant, buffalo and great large lion prides. Zambia's Luangwa valley is also well regarded as the best place in Africa for leopard. In summary, this is definitely not just a location reserved for safari connoisseurs! Zambia's value and the activities available in the safari parks.
Value and the variety of activities on offer are also reasons to travel here. Game drives at day and night are possible in all parks, and boating, fishing, canoeing and walking safaris are possible in the majority of the countries wildlife reserves. Couple this with the fact that the very best lodges in Zambia are noticeably less expensive than similar lodges in neighbouring countries, and Zambia can stake its claim as the most attractive safari country!
Links and overviews to Zambia's main parks : 
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. 
North Luangwa or the 'North park' as it is known 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.
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 - an outrageously good safari park, on all counts. 
Kafue is Africa's second largest National Park yet remains visited by few travellers. The Northern Busanga Plains are where the game is most impressive and where you will find the best camps.
Livingstone is the old capital of Zambia and the hive of activity in the area nowadays. With a cluster of larger hotels around the Falls themselves and stunning river lodges upstream the city is our destination of choice for travellers visiting Victoria Falls.
Zambia featured lodges:
South Luangwa
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.
South Luangwa
Run by Remote Africa as part of the infamous Chikoko Walking Trails, Chikoko is a camp that truly fits into its surroundings; this is a stunning little bush camp.
Lower Zambezi
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.
