Zambia
Zambia
The birthplace of walking safaris, wild rivers & untamed Africa.
Zambia beckons the discerning traveler to explore its soulful wilderness on foot, by canoe, and under endless skies. In South Luangwa, walking safaris bring you eye to eye with leopards, elephants, and hippo along shaded riverbanks. The Lower Zambezi deepens that connection with private river cruises, serene canoe safaris, and the chance to cast a line in some of Africa’s most scenic waters. On remote Liuwa Plain, witness the continent’s second-largest wildebeest migration unfold across boundless grasslands. And for a blend of spectacle and luxury, Victoria Falls offers helicopter overviews, private riverfront dining, and exclusive walks along its mist-shrouded gorge. Zambia delivers safari as it was meant to be: authentic, soulful, and effortlessly refined.
