A Glimpse of the Real Africa

Your journey often begins in Livingstone, Zambia’s adventure hub, where the mighty Zambezi River plunges to form Victoria Falls—known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya, “The Smoke That Thunders.” From here, travellers can venture deep into Zambia’s pristine wilderness, such as the remote Busanga Plains in Kafue National Park, one of Africa’s oldest and most expansive protected areas. At 5.5 million acres, Kafue offers raw, unfiltered wildlife encounters found nowhere else.

Where Adventure Meets Serenity

Zambia is world-renowned as the home of the walking safari. Exploring on foot heightens every sense—each sound, scent, and movement in the bush becomes part of the thrill. Paired with other experiences such as canoe trips, river safaris, night drives, hot-air ballooning, and photographic hides, every day brings a new perspective of the wild.

The dry season from June to October generally offers the most rewarding game viewing, with animals gathering around permanent water sources.
