Wildlife lover? This one's for you. Zambia is a superb safari destination that gets you right off the beaten track and into the wildlife-filled wilderness where you'll sleep in luxurious lodges or out under the stars.


Why we love it

“One for the wildlife enthusiasts, Zambia beckons with arguably the most beautiful scenery in Africa and is renowned as the home of the great walking safari. Each National Park reveals something unique: an amazing density of big cats, striking leopard, and wild dog sightings, as well as epic encounters with cheetah as you journey up to Kafue. The activities are diverse, ranging from boating and canoeing on stunning channels to exhilarating game drives, numerous photographic hides, and plenty of adventure. Our chosen lodges span the spectrum from rustic—reminiscent of safaris of old—to glamorous. You'll love the Zambian hospitality too. Why not finish your trip with an unforgettable helicopter ride over Victoria Falls, immersing yourself in the thundering cascade from the skies?”

When to go

A lot of lodges and camps close due to the rains - but this can be a magical time for birdlife and low rates!

December-April

There may be some rain drying out towards the end of the month - it's an exciting time at the start of the season when the bush should be lush and green. The Victoria Falls will be at their most impressive at this time of year.

May

The best time to be in Zambia, during the dry season when the wildlife will be prolific. The landscapes will turn from green in June and July, to brown come late September and October.

June-October

The start of the rains can be a dramatic and beautiful time to be there - it's very hot and thunderstorms are a welcome respite from the humidity.

November

View summary

 

Touch down in Lusaka Airport, where you'll be met VIP and assisted with meeting your driver, who will transfer you across town (approx. 30 min drive) to your hotel.

Lusaka

Lusaka is the Zambian capital and the starting point for the majority of Zambian safaris. The city connects well internationally via the Middle East and other African hubs. It's a lovely leafy city for an overnight or two, before setting off on your adventures.

Latitude 15°

1 night

 

You'll be collected from your hotel and driven (approx. 30 mins) back to Lusaka airport, in time to board your Proflight scenic flight (approx. 1 hour) to Mfuwe Airport in the Luangwa Valley. On arrival you'll be met by your guide and transferred the rest of the way, via road and then game drive once in the South Luangwa National Park (approx. 2-3 hours total depending on exact camp location) to your camp.

South Luangwa

Home of the walking safari and Zambia's top safari destination. We recommend a few nights here to get really stuck into the slower pace of safari that has made this region famous. Big game is in abundance and we advice to avoid November due to searing heat and December-March due to rain. Access is by light aircraft and then a short game drive.

Kaingo Camp

3 nights

 

Today you'll be transferred via game drive and then road back to Mfuwe Airport (approx. 2-3 hours total) in time to board your Proflight scenic flight (approx. 1.5 hours) to Jeki or Royal Airstrip in the Lower Zambezi National Park. On arrival you'll be met by your guide and transferred via game drive (approx. 1 hour depending on exact camp location) to your camp.

Lower Zambezi

One of Africa's top national parks with the great Zambezi River providing the focal point. A wide variety of game can be spotted by game drive, canoe, boat cruise, or on a walking safari. July-October is the best time to visit and access is by light aircraft or road from Lusaka.

Kutali Camp

3 nights

 

Today you'll be transferred via game drive (approx. 1 hour) back to Jeki or Royal Airstrip, in time to board your Proflight scenic flight (via Lusaka, approx. 2 hours total) to Livingstone Airport. On arrival, you'll be met by our local representative and transferred (approx. 20 mins-1 hour depending on exact hotel location) to your hotel.

Livingstone

On the Zambian side of the mighty Victoria Falls, the town itself has a great international airport hub. Our chosen lodges are located upstream, away from the tourists and surrounded by natural beauty. Aside from visiting the Falls, a sunset cruise is highly recommended. We suggest at least 3 nights here to start or end your safari in Botswana or Zambia.

Sindabezi Island Camp

3 nights

 

Today you'll be transferred (approx. 30 mins) back to Livingstone Airport in time to board your Proflight scenic flight (approx. 1 hour) back to Lusaka Airport, where you'll be assisted with collecting your luggage and checking in for your onward international flight home (international flight booked under own arrangements). We hope you've had the most incredible adventure, it's the end of your nemo journey - for now!
