Zambia (overview)
- Relatively low numbers of tourists with some of the best game viewing in Africa. Famous Luangwa valley (leopard sightings galore) with top safari operators and brilliant walking safaris; Lower Zambezi with canoe trips, Kafue for mini Serengeti experience and gentle rivers, Victoria Falls and the smoke that thunders.
- From stylish comfortable lodges around Victoria Falls to simple bush camps and old colonial splendour (Shiwa Ng’andu) there is something for all tastes in Zambia.
- Off-piste places include Kasanka National Park for sitatunga, wattle crane and the spectacular straw-coloured fruit bat migration. Livingstone’s memorial is close by. Shoebills in the Bangwelu swamps. Liuwa Plains if you really want remote.
- Light aircraft transfers mainly as road system poor and time consuming.
- December to February sees the most rain but the green season has dramatic skies and brilliant bird watching.
- Combines well with Botswana, Malawi, Zimbabwe.
