Zambia offers an off the beaten track, unspoilt and less crowded safari experience, making it hugely popular with second- or third-time safari goers. It is renowned for walking safaris giving you a chance explore the wilderness on foot which allows you to immerse yourself in nature, observe smaller details and gain a more detailed understanding of the complex ecosystem which supports some of the most magnificent animals on the planet from incredible birdlife to mysterious leopards.
But with a huge variety of lodges to choose from, how do you choose where to stay? To help you, we’ve broken Zambia up into the three main areas safari goers explore; Kafue National Park at one end of the country, South Luangwa at the other and the Lower Zambezi in the middle. We’ve also included a few more far-flung options for those looking to get truly off the beaten track.
First up, it’s South Luangwa, the most popular park in Zambia due to its beautiful locations and plentiful wildlife, including elephants, lions, leopards, giraffes, hippos, buffalo, and a variety of antelope species. The park is particularly famous for its leopard sightings and is fondly called the ‘Valley of Leopards’. South Luangwa is home to a wide range of accommodations.
Flatdogs is one of my favourite camps in Africa. It is an excellent mid-range option and the most affordable camp in the area. Situated along the banks of the Luangwa River, it has stunning views and the pool here is great to relax around after a day of game drives.
It’s range of accommodation is perfect for families & couples, and they have the Crocodiles Nest 2-bedroom villa complete with a viewing deck and pool is perfect for a family or two couples travelling together (they have specific family-friendly activities available too).
The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly with welcoming staff, and the food is always popular.
Safari purists may find the area around the main entrance to the park a little busy, but all first-time safari goers and most repeat visitors will be delighted with the camp, the area and its wildlife.
Highlights
Best for: Budget friendliness
One of the newest properties in the park, Puku Ridge was built from scratch on the site of an existing lodge in 2019. Situated on a ridge overlooking the beautiful floodplain, all the rooms overlook a lagoon and one of the standout features of the camp is that each room has a tower with its own star bed so you’re free to sleep in or out as you choose without having to make a special reservation.
Highlights
Best for: Romantic adventures – sleep out under the stars
Kafunta have 3 camps in the South Luangwa; Kafunta Lodge, Three Rivers and Island Bushcamp. It’s possible to combine all 3 camps in a lovely immersive circuit of the area, and for the more adventurous we highly recommend walking between Three Rivers and Island Bushcamp, which is set in a remote part of the park where visitors are few and you are unlikely to have to share your sightings with other visitors.
Highlights
Best for: Longer stays
Lion Camp’s greatest asset is its location as the furthest North camp accessible from Mfuwe. The lagoons and rich riverine vegetation and mixed woodland around the camp support a great density of game and sightings are usually excellent. It’s a luxurious camp with a high standard of service, and children under 12 are only accepted if the entire camp is booked on an exclusive basis.
Highlights
Best for: Luxury in the wild
I’ve included Luwi on this list as it’s one of Zambia’s best examples of a traditional bush camp, and is in a really remote location. There are few roads and most of the game viewing is on foot. Luwi is often used as a start point for a walking safari taking in other Norman Carr bushcamps further downstream.
Highlights
Best for: Wild walking safaris
The Lower Zambezi National Park has a great reputation for game viewing and if time permits should feature on a Zambian safari itinerary. It is on the opposite bank to Zimbabwe’s famous Mana Pools National Park and elephants don’t respect border controls, cross the river and are often found feeding on the islands that dot the river.
Activities here feature canoeing or boat cruises as well as the traditional game drives and walks.
One of African Bush Camp’s newest lodges, Lolobezi is all about style. It has beautiful and striking interiors with lots of quirky design features. The suites are super luxurious with plunge pools and huge verandas.
Style is backed up by substance and it’s in a fantastic position in the middle of the Lower Zambezi National Park and game viewing in the area is excellent.
Highlights
Best for: Stylish safari & relaxation
Set close to the confluence of the Chongwe and Zambezi Rivers Chongwe is a lovely intimate camp with just 8 tents. The camp's location provides excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing right from the comfort of the camp. It’s traditional in style and a more affordable option in the Lower Zambezi where a lot of camps are now quite expensive.
Highlights
Best for: Boating & fishing
Kafue is Zambia's biggest and oldest National Park, and the central area is easily accessible by road from Lusaka. The camps here are open year-round whilst the Busanga Plains further North are flooded in the summer months so only open from June through until the end of October. Kafue is home to a wider variety of species than any other Park in Zambia, Red Lechwe, Sable and Roan which are uncommon in other Parks are often seen here as are Wild-dog and Cheetah.
What I love most about Chisa Busanga are it’s unique nest rooms, elevated high above the ground, and offering great views of the surrounding area. There are only 4 rooms and a communal dining and relaxation area with a small pool.
It’s located in the Busanga Plains in the north of Kafue and the savannah is home to plenty of lions as well as all the plains game that they like to eat!
Chisa Busanga is part of the Green Safaris property portfolio so it has an electric vehicle to enjoy silent safaris, and some e-bikes for guests who would like a little exercise.
Highlights
Best for: Remote and authentic safaris
KaingU is a small intimate camp in a remote area. It’s located on the eastern bank of the Kafue river, just outside the National Park, and has only 4 meru-style safari tents and one family house that has two bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, and a central living area. All have lovely private decks overlooking the river.
There are also 3 Tonga ‘Tree Baskets’, little private sleepout treehouses for adventurous nights under the stars.
Activities include bird-watching, boat cruises, canoeing and fishing on the river as well as walks and game drives inside the National Park
Highlights
Best for: Water based adventures
Liuwa Plains is one of the oldest and most pristine parks in Africa, originally designated as a royal hunting ground by the Lozi king, Lubosi Lewanika in the 1880s. Now it’s home to one of the highest concentrations of hyena on the continent, and the best place to observe these amazing predators. It’s also home to the remarkable and luxurious King Lewanka Lodge, where high-end and spacious villas blend seamlessly with the surrounding environment. Each villa features elegant design, modern amenities, en-suite bathrooms, and private decks overlooking the vast plains.
Highlights
Best for: Enjoying the Hyena nocturnal soundtrack in luxury!
The Zambezi close to Livingstone is the perfect option for a chill out post safari in Zambia (or Botswana as it’s so close to the Bots border). Here you can either do nothing but watch the waters roll past, or you can fish, paddle or take boat cruises. It’s also the perfect location to visit Vic Falls as you’re only 20 minutes away. A sunset cruise with a glass of something cold is an absolute must!
Waterberry is my personal favourite lodge in the Livingstone area. It’s located about 20 minutes drive from Livingstone, so you’re close enough to explore the falls early in the morning before it gets busy, and then you can retreat back to Waterberry’s lush gardens and enjoy the peace & quiet.
The main lodge has 7 rooms, sleeping between 2 & 4 guests, the Woodlands are 3 safari style tents with large en suite bathrooms sleeping 2 guests, and the River Farmhouse is an exclusive use house sleeping between 8 – 10.
The team at Waterberry are warm and so hospitable, the food is great, the rooms are comfortable and it’s just lovely to be there! House activities include boating, sunset cruises, fishing, guided bird walks and trips to visit the falls as well as community visits to see some of the projects that are funded by Waterberry.
Highlights
Best for: Post safari relaxation
Tongabezi is a more luxurious option and closer to Livingstone. It has 5 River Cottages, and 7 Houses, sleeping between 2 and 8 guests. The houses feature plunge pools or outdoor baths all with stunning views of the river. The style is boho-chic, and it’s a favourite with Zambia honeymooners and romantics.

Walking safaris in Zambia: everything you need to know
These are just a handful of our favourite safari lodges, but where is right for you to stay will depend on what you’re looking for and your budget, so if you’d like to plan a Zambia safari, get in touch today and we’ll create one tailored to your personal needs.
I have just returned from the most amazing trip to Tanzania, booked with Far & Wild. Everything went so smoothly from the first time I spoke with them. The planning was great, the itinerary was perfect for us, and the lodges were amazing. We spent 10 nights with an amazing guide, travelling through Northern Tanzania and even got to see the migration, which was a lifetime ambition of mine. This wasn't our first safari, so we were nervous as to how it would compare, but it was spot on. We're particularly grateful that she suggested a private 'bush lunch' in the Ngorongoro Crater as the public picnic spot was very busy! I will certainly be using them again to book our next trip....we're thinking of a relaxing beach stay next time to get over the excitement of safari!
Just back from another amazing F&W organised trip to Namibia with the family (8 adults). Having been there before, Alistair tailored our trip to include our favourite locations and added a new one for us, Okonjima Plains camp, which we loved.The quality of accommodation and guiding, activities, food and drinks was exceptional throughout. Although not inexpensive I felt it was good value for the level of luxury we had. Kwessi Dunes, Shipwreck lodge, Ongava, Okonjima with pit stops Windhoek (city tour recommended ), Swakopmund (Sandwich Harbour and Walvis Bay tour) and Grootberg lodge (best sundowner drive )
We had a wonderful trip to São Tomé and Príncipe - a small island nation in the Gulf of Guinea with paradise (almost empty) beaches and jungle forest. It was all well organised by Far and Wild and we stayed at Omali lodge at Sao Tome, then on Roca Sundy, and Sunday Praia at Principe - a great combination of different types of resorts/hotels. Omali is close to Sao Tome town with its colonial buildings, markets, hustle and bustle. Roca Sunday gives an old plantation experience and Sundy Praia a luxury beach experience. Very friendly (from time to time a bit slow) service, great fresh food, specifically if you like fish/seafood, vegetables and fruits (almost all sourced locally). Nice temperature between 23 and 30 degrees Celsius, nice swimming conditions. We really recommend this for those who want to experience a pristine destination with few other tourists and friendly and welcoming people. The islands also feel (and I believe are) very safe. At Principe, there are no dangerous animals, snakes or whatever, and it was great to be able to hike in the jungle without being very conscious of where to put your hands and feet. Go before everyone else does!
Back home again, basking in the joys of a superb safari. Every aspect you arranged for us, including linking up with Mack Air and Wild Horizons locally to transport us. The choice of camps, Camp Hwange in Zimbabwe and Muchenenje Safari Lodge in Botswana, was spot on and exactly what we had hoped for - ideally situated, comfortable, in good surroundings, and with excellent wildlife on the doorstep and throughout the wider country. The service staff in each looked after us very well, catering was excellent, and the game guides were professional, knowledgeable and helpful. The weather was, as usual for that part of the world, also good at the time of our visit. Blue skies and stunning sunsets. Warm but not too hot during the day, although quite cold at sunrise when viewing game. The viewing started. You made us happy, and we recommend you to similar safari enthusiasts with confidence.
Far and Wild went above and beyond to make sure my trip to Zambia was special. I would definitely recommend them and their services to anyone wanting to travel to Africa.
Lovely holiday at the amazing Almanara on Galu beach, a beach like no other. Far and Wild excelled themselves from beginning to end of our holiday in beautiful Kenya.... What a country!,
Wow! These guys are amazing. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Friendly AND efficient! Sorted out our trip (last minute and lots of different family member needs, sorry!) in record time and everything worked like clockwork. Trip of a lifetime to the Masai Mara. Will be back (and use F&W again!)!
It was a dreamy holiday on the Kenyan Coast - Far and Wild, their efficiency and professionalism allowed us to relax and be the happiest family alive !! We cannot fault them, their care and understanding of what we wanted from a holiday ensured we had the most memorable trip. We will be booking with them again for sure!
