A Zambia safari offers untamed Africa at its best, with some of the finest wildlife experiences. From world-class walking safaris and canoeing on the Zambezi River to predator-packed plains and intimate bush camps, Zambia is the complete package.
And with expert guiding, contrasting game reserves, and dramatic scenery, this is Africa for true safari lovers.
What we love is the sheer contrast between its game reserves. Plus you have one of Africa's greatest rivers on display: the mighty Zambezi.

Zambia may not be the first name that springs to mind for a honeymoon — and that’s exactly what makes it perfect. It’s a place for couples who want to do things differently. Picture this: sundowners on the banks of the Zambezi River, private bush dinners under a sky lit by stars. Checking out the elephants from the deck of your tented room, perhaps with a G&T in hand?
The lodges here are often small, owner-run and full of character. Many have just 4 to 6 rooms, offering the kind of privacy and personal service you’re looking for.
And then there’s Victoria Falls. Whether you want to swim to the edge of Devil’s Pool, take a helicopter ride over the mist, or simply toast each other while enjoying sundowners on the Zambezi, the Falls bring just the right mix of awe and adrenaline.
Bonus? While Zambia isn’t “cheap,” it’s usually more affordable than Botswana’s Okavango Delta lodges.
Whether you're planning an epic honeymoon, a walking safari from camp to camp or combining Zambia with Malawi for the ultimate bush & beach safari, Zambia offers it all.
And each sample safari tour can be personalised to suit you.

Zambia is relatively easy to get to with flights into Livingstone (for the Victoria Falls) from Johannesburg, Cape Town, Kruger International Airport. You can also fly into Lusaka from Johannesburg and Cape Town with Proflight.
