Walking with giants

Zambia

Wild & remote

Zambia’s big game and abundant birdlife revolves mostly around three great rivers – the Zambezi, Luangwa & Kafue. It offers impressive wildlife diversity as well as some of the wildest and most remote game areas on the continent. It is also the land of the legendary African walking safari and the concept of exploring the bush on foot over multiple days was first pioneered in the South Luangwa by one of the continent’s finest operators. There remains no greater sense of excitement than creeping past a herd of elephant, glimpsing an elusive leopard or a pride of lions when on foot.

However, there is much more to Zambia than just walking safaris. On the Zambezi River you can slip silently into a canoe to glide past elephants & wallowing hippos or stand in awe as the river falls away into the Zambezi Gorge creating the thundering Victoria Falls. A unique proliferation of family operated outfits has given rise to a number of seriously stylish private houses and luxury bush lodges – the perfect intimate spaces to go off-grid with your friends and family.

The trip exceeded my expectations and was the best family holiday I have ever had. Our children simply loved it and now I know more about African wildlife than they do about our own farm animals.
