Tailor-made safaris in Zambia
The luxury of a Zambia safari lies not only in the fact that you see incredible wildlife in beautiful landscapes, but also that you can stay in stylish remote camps and see few other people. It’s known for walking safaris, and don’t forget to visit Victoria Falls.
We loved the safaris and the sundowners. Highlights were the pride of lions, seeing a leopard kill, the exotic birds, and we found the walking safari thrilling.

When to go to Zambia
The best time to come to Zambia for wildlife viewing is the dry season between about June and October as the grasses have died down making wildlife easier to spot, and the animals will also be drawn to steadily dwindling water sources. Having said that, the green season (December to March) is a beautiful, lush time to visit Zambia and it’s excellent for birds. Call for a chat if you’re unsure when to go.
