Our specialist says:

Get away from the crowds in the wildlife rich, but much under visited National Parks of Western Zambia. Enjoy exceptional guiding, unique wildlife encounters and some of the finest lodges the continent has to offer, all rounded off with a few days relaxing at Victoria Falls

Getting off the beaten track in many countries can mean compromising on the quality of experience – lodges can be a little on the “rustic” side and wildlife experiences can be middling, which puts even the most ardent safari enthusiast off dipping their toe in little-known areas. Western Zambia bucks this trend dramatically, offering an unrivalled wildlife experience away from the crowds in lodges that are the envy of their contemporaries across Africa.

Start with an overnight in Lusaka, Zambia’s bustling, modern capital city. Here you can relax by the pool and prepare yourselves for the incredible adventure that awaits. The following morning you will be taken back to the airport for a flight to the Kafue National Park, a vast expanse of wilderness that few have heard of and even fewer visit. Enjoy incredible wildlife encounters, on foot, in boats and vehicles, as your guides get you up close and personal with some of Africa’s most iconic beasts. From there a plane and short helicopter flight will take you in to the heart of the Liuwa Plain National Park, a hidden gem of a park with only one permanent lodge which will be your home for the next few nights. Explore at your heart’s content, safe in the knowledge that you will be one of just a handful of people who visit the park in any given year Enjoy unique wildlife encounters in a park where, despite a sizeable lion population, hyenas are the apex predator. After your time exploring Liuwa fly down to Livingstone for a few days relaxing on the banks of the Zambezi River. Your base will be one of Zambia and indeed Africa’s most beloved lodges which boasts amazing river views and has Victoria Falls in easy striking distance.

This trip offers a unique blend of iconic experiences, outstanding lodges and an absence of crowds – if you are looking for something truly unique then this is definitely the trip to take and will make you the envy of safari enthusiasts the world over.

July

July is high season, temperatures rise and all the camps are officially open. If you want to see game then South Luangwa is the best option, whereas the Lower Zambezi is perfect for river cruises and fishing.

Victoria falls is at its best, without being overly wet and clouded with spray.
