Zambia
Zambia is the birthplace of the walking safari and remains one of Africa’s most authentic wilderness destinations. South Luangwa and the Lower Zambezi deliver exceptional predator viewing, huge elephant herds, and a genuine sense of remoteness that is increasingly hard to find.
Zambia's Highlights
South Luangwa is legendary for its leopard density and the quality of its guiding. Night drives, walking safaris and the seasonal oxbow lagoons create outstanding opportunities for both photography and classic game viewing. The Lower Zambezi adds canoeing, boat work and dramatic riverine scenery with excellent elephant and predator populations. Zambia feels less commercial than many better-known destinations, appealing strongly to photographers, return safari-goers, and travellers who value authenticity, space and high-quality guiding over polished luxury alone. Ideal for photographers, walking safari enthusiasts, return visitors to Africa, and travellers seeking a more intimate and authentic experience.
Best time: June–October is the peak dry season with the best game viewing, walking conditions and photography; the green season (November–April) offers lush scenery, excellent birding and lower rates, though some camps close.
Highlights: South Luangwa (leopards and walking safaris), Lower Zambezi (canoeing and riverine game), night drives, wild dogs and high predator densities, and authentic owner-run camps.
