Zambia remains to this day a beautiful uncommercial backwater, where family owned safari companies continue to operate small, intimate camps in remote and beautiful reserves.

Safari here is unusually outdoorsy and involving, often including a high quotient of walking. Real safari for real safari people.

The primary area is the wonderful South Luangwa and the more remote North Luangwa. To the west is Kafue, a huge and remote wilderness, whilst to the south Lower Zambezi is a superb location for canoe safari in particular. Not to forget the Victoria Falls at Livingstone.
