Spending time in Zambia will be an unforgettable experience, where memories will be made around the campfire under a starlit sky, peacefully canoeing down the serene Zambezi River as wildlife saunters alongside, or white-water rafting the rapids and experiencing the earth-moving Victoria Falls in all its glorious splendor.Zambia is a safari lover's dream, with over 30% of the country's land dedicated to national parks offering diverse and abundant wildlife viewing opportunities.

Zambia is known for its high standards of guiding, intimate and rustic safari camps, and a range of exciting game viewing activities, including walking safaris, canoe safaris, night drives, and hot air balloon rides. Whether you want to see the Big Five animals, witness the annual bat migration, or track the elusive wild dogs, Zambia has something for everyone.

The best time to go on safari in Zambia depends on what you want to see and do, but generally, the dry season from June to October is considered the best time for wildlife viewing. During this period, animals are easier to spot around water sources and the vegetation is less dense.

This is also the peak season for tourism, so expect higher prices and more crowds in the parks. However, you can enjoy activities such as walking safaris, canoe safaris, night drives, and hot air balloon rides during this time.       

Victoria Falls:
One of the natural wonders of the world, Victoria Falls is a must-see attraction in Zambia. You can admire the falls from different viewpoints or get closer by taking a helicopter flight, a microlight flight, or a boat ride to the Devil’s Pool on the edge of the falls. For adrenaline junkies, there are activities such as bungee jumping, gorge swinging, and white-water rafting.   

South Luangwa National Park:
Known as one of the best places in Africa to see leopards, South Luangwa is also home to lions, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, and more. It is the birthplace of walking safaris, allowing you to explore the bush on foot with expert guides and experience the thrill of being close to nature.

Lower Zambezi National Park:
Located on the banks of the mighty Zambezi River, this park attracts a wealth of wildlife, including elephants, hippos, crocodiles, and waterbirds. You can enjoy game viewing from a boat or a canoe or try your skill at fishing for tigerfish or bream.

Liuwa Plain National Park:
One of the most remote and pristine parks in Africa, Liuwa Plain hosts the second-largest wildebeest migration in Africa, as well as zebras, tsessebes, hyenas, and lions. It is also one of the few places where you can see the rare and endangered cheetahs.

Kasanka National Park:
This small but beautiful park hosts one of the most spectacular wildlife phenomena in the world: the annual bat migration. Between October and December, millions of straw-colored fruit bats converge on a small patch of forest in Kasanka to feed on fruits. The sight and sound of these bats filling the sky at dusk and dawn is unforgettable.

Cultural Richness:
Zambia is not only about safaris; it also has a rich and diverse culture reflecting its 73 ethnic groups and 10 regions. Learn about the traditions, customs, and history of the local people by visiting their villages, museums, and cultural centers. Witness colorful and vibrant traditional ceremonies throughout the year, such as the Kuomboka ceremony of the Lozi people or the Ncwala ceremony of the Ngoni people.

Finding accommodation in Zambia is easy, with a variety of options ranging from luxury lodges to boutique B&Bs, and some lovingly restored historical buildings. Consider staying at a safari lodge or one of the beautifully appointed camps along the Zambezi River.
