Zambia Safari
Collection
“Zambia - the
Real Africa” is no idle boast. Unlike Botswana, its younger, more refined
neighbor to the southwest, Zambia represents the power or raw Africa and has a well
deserved reputation with those looking for Africa unadorned – small safari camps and
lodges with personal service and comfortable accommodations, good food, cold drinks,
culture, great guides, excellent wildlife, and an informal character.
Zambia is a stable,
democratic nation. In its wildlife and wilderness offerings it is like Zimbabwe -
travelers have opportunities to see the Big 5 wildlife species (lion, leopard, elephant,
buffalo, and rhino) in addition to wild dog, cheetah, giraffe, hippo & numerous other
animals. Famous for its multi-day walking safaris through wildlife rich national
parks (unlike in Kenya, Tanzania and Botswana where walking is not allowed within parks),
visitors to Zambia may also enjoy day and night wildlife viewing drives in open 4x4
vehicles, boating safaris, canoeing safaris, white water rafting at Victoria Falls,
and exciting cultural opportunities. In the hands of highly trained professional
guides (in most cases equal in skill to Zimbabwean guides) Zambia offers travelers an
exceptional safari experience.
