Zambia may not always make the headlines in mainstream travel guides, but this is precisely what makes it so special.

From the thunderous Victoria Falls to the winding Zambezi River, a luxury Zambia safari promises a profound adventure.
Experiences on a luxury Zambia safari
Zambia is renowned for its exceptional walking safaris, offering a truly immersive experience. In the Lower Zambezi and South Luangwa, you’ll embark on expert-guided walks, boat safaris, and game drives. Encounter herds of elephants, zebras, giraffes, leopard hunts, lions lounging on the riverbeds and buffalo, all in their natural habitat while on a luxury Zambia safari.
For a unique perspective, soar over Victoria Falls by microlight or take a scenic helicopter flight to explore the diverse landscapes and take in the full scale of this natural wonder. A private Sampan dinner under the stars on the Zambezi River provides an intimate dining experience, with each course delivered by canoe as you listen to the tranquil sounds of the river.
Zambia also offers unparalleled seclusion for honeymooners, with romantic stays in tree canopies, candlelit dinners, and thrilling visits to the Devil’s Pool at Victoria Falls. For a true adventure, try tiger fishing on the Zambezi River, or savor the magic of a sunset while enjoying a sundowner on its tranquil waters. Whether you're drawn to the roar of Victoria Falls or the thrill of wildlife encounters, a luxury Zambia safari offers a rich and unforgettable experience.
