Zambia In-Depth
Experience Exceptional - South Luangwa - Lower Zambezi - Vic Falls
Zambia is the Heart of Africa. A premier destination that captures the authentic spirit of a bygone safari era. A safari to Zambia is not just about observing the wildlife, you become part of it. Zambia is home to over 240 different mammals and over 400 types of birds.
Prepare for an exhilarating safari where the variety of immersive experiences is truly unparalleled. Whether you are on a traditional game drive in open vehicles, on a walking safari, uncovering the secrets of the bush during thrilling night drives, or floating past wildlife on a river expedition, every moment is an invitation to explore. You will be led by Africa’s finest guides, ensuring every encounter is safe, intimate, and unforgettable.
For a truly rewarding finish to your day, we suggest spending a night in a Sky Bed or in a “deluxe” fly-camp. Drifting off under the vast, glittering canopy of the African stars is a life-changing experience. With a perfect blend of quality accommodations and world-class service, Zambia offers a soul-stirring escape into the wild.
The four major wildlife areas are Kafue, South and North Luangwa, and Lower Zambezi:
- The beautiful South Luangwa is the main focus of Zambia safaris. It is larger than Yellowstone National Park, and you can spend a week exploring the various regions of this amazing area. Each camp and terrain is quite different. Camps and lodges are of a high standard.
- Home of the Walking Safari, the South Luangwa National Park has the reputation of running the finest guided walking safaris in Africa. Short walks can be done from camps as well as arrangements can be made for multi-day walking safaris. All walking safaris are accompanied by an armed ranger and an open vehicle as back up if you decide to take a rest from walking.
- The Lower Zambezi is one of the most magical areas in all of Africa. It's a relatively new park, with a few fabulous deluxe properties and plentiful wildlife. Game drives are available, but it is a great area for water-based game viewing. It is not uncommon to see elephant and hippo playing at the water’s edge.
- By special arrangements, add Kafue National Park to your safari. The park is located in the far southwest from Lusaka. The Kafue River and its tributaries bisect the park and a natural draw for the wildlife. Lions, leopards, African Wild Dogs, cheetah and elephants make Kafue their home as well as the rare Sable Antelope.
Zambia safaris are organized on an individual basis. Camps and lodges are selected based on what activities you would like to participate in, your comfort level, and budget. Each camp organizes their own activities, and Born Free will arrange for transport between camps and parks.
Solo Travelers: This is an ideal trip for a solo traveler as you join other guests on all activities. Properties are small and game drives and activities are offered with limited participation - so a solo traveler will never feel lost in a crowd.
