The beating heart of Africa, where wild wonders await.

Taking its name from the mighty Zambezi River which runs along its western and southern periphery, Zambia’s highlights cater to those seeking a classic African safari experience. With a wide range of game viewing available across its many national parks and game reserves, spotting big game up close rates as one of the most sought-after activities to be enjoyed on our tours. 

From hearing and seeing prides of lions in their natural habitat, to admiring the grace of giraffes as they lope through the savannah, and on to the delights of cruises along the Lower Zambezi to view elephants, hippo and crocodiles along the river’s course, or the sublime pleasure of seeing the mighty Victoria Falls from the elegance of a waterside hotel, the sights and sounds of the country make it the quintessential African destination for lovers of wildlife. Whether you’re seeking an up-close walking safari, or viewing from the secluded safety of a game hide at the water’s edge, the choice is yours.

The Luangwa Valley, marking the southernmost reach of Africa’s Great Rift Valley, remains one of the continent’s last truly wild frontiers—a place where nature still moves to its own rhythm.

Zambia

At the far edge of the Great Rift Valley lies the Luangwa Valley, one of Africa’s last truly unspoilt wilderness regions and among its finest wildlife sanctuaries. Spanning more than 9,000 square kilometres, the valley is defined by the meandering Luangwa River, which nourishes a network of oxbow lagoons, open plains, and riverine woodland teeming with life. This fertile landscape supports some of the continent’s most impressive concentrations of game, from vast herds of elephant and buffalo to the predators that follow them—lion, leopard, and hyena. Towering giraffes move gracefully among acacia trees, while hippos wallow in the shallows and crocodiles bask along the riverbanks. With over 400 species of birds, the valley resonates with calls and colour throughout the seasons, offering one of the most diverse and rewarding safari experiences in all of Africa.

Kasanka Bat Safari

Kasanka Bat Safari

8 Days
Zambia

Each year as October draws to a close, the skies above Kasanka National Park come alive with one of nature’s greatest spectacles. Thousands upon thousands of straw-coloured fruit bats descend upon the Mushitu swamp forest near the confluence of the Musola and Kasanka rivers, drawn by the ripening fruit of wild loquat and waterberry trees. Over the following weeks their numbers swell into the millions, creating vast, swirling clouds that darken the horizon at dusk. While smaller migrations occur elsewhere in Africa—often near urban centres where growing cities threaten their survival—Kasanka remains one of the last pristine strongholds for this awe-inspiring phenomenon. To witness the bats rise in unison against the glow of the setting sun is to experience one of the continent’s most astonishing natural events, a fleeting and unforgettable celebration of life on a grand scale.
