Tailor made trips and tours in Zambia

Zambia

Zambia is a land-locked country in central southern Africa; a magnificent place to explore with particularly good wildlife and well-protected wilderness areas. It doesn’t have the same high profile as a safari destination as Kenya or Tanzania, which is maybe a good thing: this is a safari connoisseur’s destination.

Northern Rhodesia gained independence from Britain in 1964 and emerged as Zambia under First President Kenneth Kaunda. The economy is stable in modern Zambia and less reliant today on the Copper Belt in the north than it was in former years. Michael Sata (current President) is also praised for heading one of the most honest governments in Africa.

The name “Zambia” is derived from the River Zambezi which forms the western border; it is also the river which flows into a gorge 108 m deep to form the Victoria Falls.

Zimbabwe and Zambia Tour

Zim’ used to be a first choice destination for people wishing to travel on safari. However, the recent political turmoil has turned many people away. Which is a shame, the country may be in economic chaos, but it’s quite safe and the wildlife is blissfully unaware!

Hidden gems

“Moon-bow” or Lunar Rainbow at Victoria Falls

A visit to Victoria Falls is a romantic extension to a safari, but if you plan it carefully you can go when the moon is full and witness one of Africa’s most romantic sights, a midnight moon-bow over the Falls.

Kafue National Park, Zambia

Kafue is special because visitor numbers are so modest, particularly the southern half of Kafue; that the elusive "wilderness feeling" is pervasive. Kafue offers a safari experience that has disappeared from many parts of Africa: it's remote, seldom-visited and perfectly preserved.
