Zambia is a land of wonderful arrays of landscapes and surreal wildlife experiences! From the breathtaking Victoria Falls in the south, counted among the world’s natural seven marvels – to the expansive Luangwa Valley up north. You’ll find the South and North Luangwa National Parks here, hosting a grand array of animals. Expect to see leopards, lions, elephants, giraffes, buffalos, hippos and even over 400 different bird varieties! No wonder Zambia attracts those seeking an unforgettable safari getaway. One trip here, and you’ll find yourself yearning to revisit it over and over again!
Surprisingly, the nation remains unaffected by large-scale consumerism. It’s like you discovered a hidden expedition on a safari trip here, known only to you. Quietly sail a canoe past elephants quenching their thirst by the meandering brooks. Experience sleeping under the starlit sky in the wilderness, or embark on a morning wildlife drive just after dawn, witnessing only fauna, not cars.
Zambia is known for its unique walking safaris, and the guides are remarkable – they ensure your safety while you explore the wilderness. Understand the meaning of different tracks and listen to the hidden bird calls, identify plants used in medicine, and experience the diverse sounds of the wilderness that usually go unnoticed because of safari vehicle noise. Imagine approaching a group of elephants or buffaloes on foot, your heart racing in awe of nature’s proximity. After trying a walking safari, you’ll forever be fascinated by the experience.
Spotlight game drives at night are a prominent feature, particularly in South Luangwa National Park. If fortune favours, you might see a prowling leopard or an aardvark leisurely heading towards a termite heap for its supper. Across Zambia, you’ll find safari camps and accommodations varying from unpretentious wilderness camps, some reached only by a day’s hike into the bush, to top-tier 5* camps boasting unobstructed views of the bush or river.
The lodging’s excellence is certainly among Africa’s top-tier. Even the simplest bush camp gives you something memorable – perhaps a panorama of a waterhole or a sense of stepping into yesterday’s Africa.
Some might think a Zambian safari is only for seasoned adventurers. That’s not the case! Sure, a three-day hike right after landing might be a little much for newcomers. But consider this – staying at a cozy, luxurious lodge. Doing a brief morning bush walk. Combining that with observing wildlife from a vehicle and a boat. Even a beginner can start to feel comfortable in a few hours. So, no need to be a safari expert. Zambia welcomes all explorers!
If you’re into safaris, Zambia is worth considering. It’s packed with unique wildlife experiences. You can enjoy seeing the unusual shoebill stork in the northern Bangweulu Swamps. Witness the biggest bat migration taking place in Kasanka National Park, where the elusive Sitatunga antelope also resides. And don’t miss Carmine Bee-Eaters colonising the riverbanks in South Luangwa National Park. Each of these experiences is unique to Zambia.
